Petoskey Stone
There are guitars in Michigan.
Dotted colors of pinstriped stars
made of clear notes, high sand dunes
lake water fossils.
My parents knew love
1969
in Petoskey.
In my father’s dresser
I hear the Great Lakes
hold the stone he keeps
in the top drawer.
The one he pluckedfrom the beach on their honeymoon.
In my mother’s bible are death notices,
the receipt for her engagement ring.
History preserved
in thin pages,
Proverbs
love
fossilized
in their bedroom.
Poet Gloria House stated:
These are poems of lyric elegance and the remembered intimacies of special relationships and places. Reading these lines, one discovers that at the center of what we generally call "everyday encounters," there is brilliance and magic.
