Stefanie Bennett- Two Poems


EVENSONG: Philip Levine  
 
On leaving heaven at
Road’s end, and
The light shut-off
Within
          The primary
Colours fell
Each step
Of the way...
Just like
The red-tailed hawk
Said:
 
“Letting him down
Easy.”
 
 
 
LES VOIX – Chibok, Nigeria    
 
Analytically –, outside
The City Limits
‘The Age of Reason’
Is deterred.
 
So –, here’s to the cat
That sat
On the mat
In the school-house
 
No-one
Sought
To
Assemble.
