The Friday Poem

A poem every Friday

Jodie Hollander

Black text on white reads ‘Evening on the Porch by Jodie Hollander’ with a small quarter of a yellow Friday Poem blob sinking into the left bottom corner.

Evening on the Porch

by Jodie Hollander — The rocking chair is rocking, / though no one sits in it / on this windless evening, / and yet this rocking, rocking, / back and forth as if / a soul could somehow wish / to be here once again / on long warm evenings
