PORTRAIT OF AN INNER LIFE
a mansion
inside a hovel
an elephant
trapped in a swallow
the claw at the end
of a roar
a knob
without a door
—from Rattle #37, Summer 2012

John Gosslee: “Though my latest copy of Rattle was stolen off of my front porch after mailing it from Nashville to Virginia in a box of new clothes and other holiday delights, these poems were not.” (web)
