Poem | Crafting Poems and Scrubbing Pots

By Audrey Russell

May 1, 2018


I hold onto Billy Collins’

words of the future,

of the dance we can’t imagine.

I hope to waltz around the desk-

ridden grubby tile floor.

Until then, I will Cha-cha slowly

around the gravy-spotted tables.

All the while longing for the

view from my perch on

the couch with pad and pen

of little hands planted

in calloused ones with

little feet two-stepping

as they stay planted on

soft brown leather loafers.
