What Keeps



“What Keeps” is a great writing prompt. Consider yourself promoted!

C. D. Wright

We live on a hillside
close to water
We eat in darkness
We sleep in the coldest
part of the house
We love in silence
We keep our poetry
locked in a glass cabinet
Some nights We stay up
passing it back and
forth
between us
drinking deep

from the book STEAL AWAY: SELECTED AND NEW POEMS / Copper Canyon Press
