Poetic Utterances
by Marie Bortolotto 2024


I.

petals gone
black-eyed susans
seeing through




II.

silence
for a moment
no time



III.

no laughing matter    toothless pumpkin




IV.

on this
sun-blessed
autumn day
the sky, a cloudless blue

and fragrant is the wind

with golden leaves, free-falling
stars of light

how is it
only children
remember to play?
