Kenneth Pobo
THE BUCKET
Minnie says her life is
a letter slipped under
her back door.
When she opens it,
she finds two blank pages.
I tell her that life has
a few good moments.
Ice cream. Sunsets. Cats.
She puts a bucket
over her head
and asks me to please
remove it for her
when the dusk sun
slips under the waves--
that she must see.
Kenneth Pobo has a new chapbook out from the State Poetry Society of Alabama called Your Place Or Mine. Forthcoming from Assure Press is his book called Uneven Steven. He has recent work in: North Dakota Quarterly, Illuminations, Brittle Star, and elsewhere.
