Mark Yakich

On Aging Gracefully

Neither an early

nor a late


bloomer

having never


met the criteria

of a flower



Insomnia

On the desk lay

a pencil Dad

sharpened


with a paring

knife forty

years ago


there are

no words

for it



Necessary Hope

The armless

woman


will want

to play


spin the

bottle


don’t be

afraid


of the kiss

she will


blow

it

Mark Yakich lives in New Orleans.
