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
