POEM: Three For Quincy

Published 9 August 2023 by Fievel

Three For Quincy

first night: scared
behind my bedroom door
as you prowl the downstairs

*

those two German shepherds
came into the yard
left yelping minutes later

*

photo: me on the porch
big glasses, wind-blown hair
arm around you

This is poem 18 in a series called 50 Days Till 50 Years. I’m writing a poem a day between now and my 50th birthday. I’m going to try to focus on memories of my past, and the people who inhabited it.

I got into Star Trek
but he was already gone
claimed by age & the ocean

another normal family
on vacation / behind the boys
a sperm whale’s skeleton

six minutes to midnight
sending out ones and zeroes
a fox darts into bushes

striped tail!
at the window: whiskers
traveling cat after spring rains
