cartwheel
by Elizabeth Brulé Farrell
I am doing a cartwheel in the backyard
of my childhood, believing my bones
are strong enough to take the weight
of my adolescent life, pretending
I am performing for the circus, agile
and light limbed as I tip over
toward the blue sky as birds squawk,
and telling you now that no one
had to show me how to take
a deep and happy boy when done.
INTO THE WILD GARDEN

FOUND POEMS
Nancy Allyn Jarzombek
During the months of pandemic anxiety, I searched the newspapers every day for news to keep me and my family safe. After a while, discouraged by endless grim news items, I took up my scissors to find poetry within the headlines. I call them Found Poems, but I think of them more as messages operating between the person I am today and the sort of persons who inhabit my memories.
