2 Poems by Mel Sherrer
Royal Jelly
The kitchen inside
the buzzing hive
of heaven
is my sister’s kitchen,
and she’s cooking
collard greens.
Ringtone: Classic, Old Phone
I’m going to wake her up
like the startle she gets
with her phone in her hand
when she’s been
scrolling
scrolling
scrolling
then here I come,
calling.
