The Writer

by Nadia Brown

Source:
Unscrambled Eggs, (2005) p. 21


You wore a hat and two China braids
combed your looks from poverty
it is obvious you are no cardboard girl
something about you sings confidence
and is perhaps misunderstood by the paper leaf world
that wraps your evenings
with dreams of being a writer
of knowing love


You seem beyond your fifteen years
quite older than the strawberry jam girl you are
but underneath your myth of make believe stars
you are like every one else
trying to figure their place
to dam a need
along this stretch of creation
where days are no longer trusted
and nights don't care much for anyone

Moon Over Columbus

by Nadia Brown
Source:
Unscrambled Eggs, (2005) p. 23


On this laundry mat of field
I am a gray autumn
torpid leaves collapsing in eve
there looming amid quiet
is your peg of moon
an arcane of stars
tilt their lanterns on your behalf

I saw you crammed night
into the belly of your suitcase
you hoarded its girth
as though it were yours
as if it belonged to you
when all I could gather
were your bones of dusk

You wore lavender sky
as I watched you coast to sunrise
taking all what you've reaped
leaving just the blues
and the agony it unfurls.
