POETRY BY JULIE EFF

5/21/2021

 
The Wisdom of Scavengers

The wisdom of scavengers
is to take what life allows

The measure of tragedy
that's owed to me

is the only salary
worth counting on

There's comfort in an ending

-

Pyre

Not a perfect match
but it still burns bright

If you’re looking around you thinking
things could be a little more on fire

You’re not wrong
but you’re not alright
