Annaliese’s poem appears in our Spring 2016 Digital Issue. A poem by her sister, Virginia Schultz, who participated in our April 2016 Poem-A-Thon also appears in this issue.
Read both sisters poems and the entire issue.
You’re absolutely right, I woke up dancing, yes,
spinning through the cool bedroom,
wrists turning, hands winging perfect to the beat of bhangra
Still, the math was freaking me out
Inside, I resisted
what is with this craziness of Age?
let it go let it go let it go
So I did,
waltzing into a day of friends and dahlias, the sweet words of my loving son,
century-old poetry, fresh curries and yet another round of hugs
now sunset over the apricot roses
now crescent moon
