Let the old VW rust
softly,safely
in our yard,
a good steed
who will be allowed
to rest in peace.
Put out to pasture,
not sent to a junkyard.
Our faithful servant,
gray container of
Odyssean college memories--
so soon set to
ferrying groceries and children--
you will recombine
with the Universe
in a leisurely
and dignified fashion.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
