Poopsie by James Terry

"The irony of his dad singing the words, “Oh mother tell your children / Not to do what I have done,” was too rich for words, an irony that Dylan was fairly certain was entirely lost on his dad."  Enjoy Poopsie by James Terry in Open Space. https://northamericanreview.org/open-space/poopsie

Im incased in webbing,

Slick with morning dew,

Sewn taught fibers contract

My existence is eroding

What a contradiction,

My wings provide freedom,

Yet from so high i scream

As seemingly from joy

The pain tightens grip

“There are two people you’ll meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe fold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.”
