Green Door

By Tess LeBlanc
Poetry•Vol. XXXI No. 2 (Summer 2018)

Beautiful menMany strong
handsYesBlack-lit
limbsTruly welcome everyone
everyone

In darkness even scum singssays
How fresh am Inewleaf
sheen not-fadingCan I take
Yesall our hustling weather

A strength from beingFelt & known
A flashYour face
all that we admireHere right
hereI love us

you purveyor of my limpest joy!
& me the core of pleasure in the room!
