VOTIVE

Only the smoke gains sustenance.
I have only my hands to write with.
In the mornings they sweat like cold iron pipes.
I try rubbing them together.
The blood moves slowly.
Mumbler.
Like a whiskey priest in prayer.                  

 

 

 

 
Of himself, Lynn Shoemaker writes: "I grew up in a small South Dakota town next to the Missouri River. After wandering around the U.S. as an activist and student, I've settled in another small town, this one in Wisconsin next to two small lakes. My life circles around my teaching at the local branch of the University, being a father, my writing, and human rights work, here and in Central America. My latest book of poetry, out from Lynx House Press, is called Hands."
