Locket
At first, I wouldn't believe: calla lilies dipped in pink, but only the tips, like a small girls toes, like the bell-curve of crave. How the clinking of teeth tastes slightly of antique silver, of April in Denver. Collared doves I watched in their cage. How their color is buff, a low lying fog, the uncertain shore of childhood. But the black at their necks is so fixed. Is the adult kohl at my eyes, is your hair, mink sky around us, wild & fixed.

Ah, the mystery of poetry!
These are great images, but I don't get the sweep of the poem...
Still, I thank you!

I hope your workshop is going well!
