Uninvited Guest: Still Life |
by Gene McCormick
Blue apples with no arms
A white orange with legs
Purple banana on a chaise
Head of pink lettuce
Green uncooked potato
Yellow black-eyed peas
Half loaf of melting bread
Scarlet sea salt
A mixer, a blender
Lime green can opener
Box of duck soup
Table setting for two
Red bamboo chopsticks
Unpainted wooden stools
Kraft paper tablecloth
White peasant curtains
Silver wind hits the curtains
Is repelled
As the door opens
Gene McCormick has had ten books published, Tanya, Queen Of The Greasy Spoon being the most recent. BoneWorld Press will be publishing a chapbook early in 2010, and another collection of poetry and short stories is planned for late 2010.
