2 Poems by Eric Luthi

Cold Hearth

I came home early to find a fire burning.
But it was not for me.


Triangle

Faded blue jeans
In the wind.
Holes
Where knees used to be.

White t-shirts
And red flannel.
All-American
Clothesline.

Mom folds
and stores them
Away. Hoping
I grow into them.

Glory rests,
gently folded
triangle
on the mantle.
