comments from the Pressed Beneath a Heavy Sky guestbook
We Bloom Through Fences
c. Cory Jaeger-Kenat, 2001
30x22 (inches)
Pastel on Paper
framed
sold
collection of L. Kerr
Like tendrils of creeping jenny,
Her thoughts stretch restless green fingers
Weaving through barbed-wire
Searching for the hollyhocks and the pickets
Where she can bring Elvis home after school
To share oatmeal cookies
In Mrs. Cleaver's
Spotless kitchen--
Black and white tv neighborhoods
Cool as a drink of well water
In the blazing grasshopper sun.
