A Different Kind Of Speaking

Poems by Richard Moomjian


Tempel Local

Find yourself
A farmstand
Pickled white
In the shade
Of a biennial
Apple tree.

Find it open,
Yourself welcomed
With white oaks
And un-mowed orchard.

Find yourself
Curious, and popping
In–an old table,
A metal box of dollars
And coins, and wooden
Planks supporting:
This land’s bounty.
