Poetry by Poem Mary Shay McGuire
roses close tight at twilight
it has happened
It will happen again
I smell the snow in winter
suddenly I am a child again
in a wool cap in New England
the cat’s coat is black luxury
once I found a cat
someday I will find another

These seemingly disparate thoughts lace together into a sense of longing and continuity. Fine work!
