Julia Rose Lewis
The Midwife
the obsolete sense of sea
gold then hen mere then maid one
egg springs on the white ferry
east here east her nest
returning the moonstone through
blueberry skin rabbit thin
off spring off spring off spring off
the grey eyed morning
the bush wishes green wishes
green-pink wishes pink-purple
wishes ripe and wild fall down
brown eyed evening
low and growing bear
here rings the summon to boom
blue the rabbit bloom
