Poem Of The Week: February 20, 2013
From reader Brian Perry: "I woke up early one morning thinking about growing up and living with my grandpa on the Port Gamble SK'lallam Indian reservation. I remember getting up early and checking on the salmon in grandpa's smokehouse."
Grandpa's Smokehouse
Cold and dark
Coffee brewing
Bacon frying
Little boy
Loving man
Dark grey mist
Orange warm alder
Blue? Or greyer still
Cracked plywood
Smoke wisps
Beautiful blue smoke
Long dry strips
Hanging down
