Stefanie Bennett: Two Poems "Attention" and "Word Forest"

Attention

Renegade neutrons
Fall apart
Laughing
On the front lawn
Yet – you, with
Your cold
Aerial-of-souls’
Clip-board
            Hand them
A clean
Bill
Of health. It’s

Strange how
A ‘for real’
Shooting star’s
Never around
            When
You want
            One.



Word Forest

And I saw you return in
     The dream I’d
       Not dreamt
