DONNA VORREYER

NIN: Show 20, Age 55

Thousands of feet pounding this field                 the thrum
             in the blood a mystery                      all pieces of one
keening being               given in to a power        that simultaneously
                          pulses comfort and rage             I wedge closer

to the rail               each bone in distress but holding         adrenaline
               rising like a loaf in a covered bowl         a hedgerow
of security cross-armed but nodding to              the rude beat
                because they too are         wounded and human

Donna Vorreyer is the author of Every Love Story is an Apocalypse Story (Sundress Publications, 2016) and A House of Many Windows (Sundress, 2013) as well as eight chapbooks, most recently The Girl (Porkbelly Press).
