Kit Kennedy
at Aunt Ethel’s
drawer
cramped
boxer
shorts
with hearts,
who knew?
The Unpretentious List Comforts
toothbrush (soft)
comb (blue)
bathrobe (red)
like a promise
to be
put back
into the earth
I Put My Trust in Gaseous Stars
with the hope
girls will choose
to wear red
Beveled
across the room
your laugh permeates
like a gibbous moon
lovers we were
asteroid & comet

These were very special poems, Kit.
I enjoyed the fresh expressions, the minimal an unadorned language, and the creative composite of it all.
Loved it!
Jack
