What’s the going rate for a poem these days?
—JM
I’ll trade you a drop of snow
for a lyrical poem,
a parking lot
for a river stone,
a soldier’s heart
for a kettle of gold,
the justice card
for the nine of swords,
a Persian word
for an off-chord;
a thousand tears,
a thousand tomes
and a drop of snow
for a lyrical poem.
