Poem of the Month - JuneThe Trundle BedNo one’s been here since she left it as it was: made up in flannel sheets, tightly tucked, hospital corners tri-folded, embossed with iron-clad will. Inside out, not caring how the others saw her, she’d work the least child over until it was hell-bent on crying. Demons of oncoming night, nostalgia welling up in pastel colors from that one’s throat, salt-lipped. Hostess to the last, words dripping with slights, hands welded to broom-whipped frenzies. No one’s stayed on here since she left us. A room can’t swab its own coat of dust. And that one who stayed up all night still lies close to the burnished floor of her housekeeping, alongside the bronzed horn of Reveille.
