April 2 Poetry Challenge: Lassen Yard

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Margaret Elysia Garcia

Lassen Yard

My Mondays are full up now
with men in (a different kind of) blue
Swapping words & stories about the outside
the barbed wire world
my someday writers
my pen stealers
I look forward to the long drive to Susanville
and the 90 minutes of limbo with them
when words: poetry & laughter
can make all of us momentarily
in that classroom. Free.
