Day22: Poem-a-Day: Wisconsin,1929 by Cindy Hunter Morgan

WISCONSIN, 1929
 Lake Michigan

What he knew of death
was a brood mare in a barn stall
heaving quietly in the dark –
contraction and silence.

When the canvas on the lifeboats
hummed in the wind
and lanterns slammed against bulkheads
and fire-grate doors swung

on their hinges,
he heard music
and felt, only,
the excitement he remembered

when neighbors came
for threshing:
thrilling commotion,
cessation of monotony.

— Cindy Hunter Morgan
