POEM OF THE DAY

Why I Want You: Beautiful Scruples

Because your sway scythed me

like the winter wheat harvested in June.

Because your eyes promise rain

to cool the sun-shocked days.

Because you make this farmer dance

like a devil in the dust of the drought.

Because you flood over sleep�s levees

like a big river after rainstorms.

Because you make me whisper,

Grandma, what beautiful scruples you have.

Dana Pattillo, 1988

(PoD 15)
