The 2River View | 21.3 (Spring 2017) |
Sarah Wetzel I refuse to give in, as I refuse as I refuse this morning’s televised car crash, the volume This dark din, as useless as three baths paralyzed, his wheelchair capsized into the crowd A crow flies through the house, which makes to his muffled barking, the crow and again into the sliding glass door. Wanting It Make him stay with your father’s gold watch You think of rope, a man’s arms that can’t be hidden. The dog is sedated Sarah Wetzel is the author of River Electric with Light, which won the 2013 AROHO Poetry Publication Prize; and Bathsheba Transatlantic, which won the Philip Levine Prize for Poetry (2010).
