Keepsake by Joan McNerney


Keepsake

 

 

There are too many

clocks and not enough

time.  I will take

and save this minute

for myself.

 

This minute

of mercury

this swift night

as sleepless stars

glide through

the sky in

aerial ballet.


Joan McNerney’s poetry has been included in numerous literary magazines such as Seven Circle Press, Dinner with the Muse, Moonlight Dreamers of Yellow Haze, Blueline, and Halcyon Days.  Three Bright Hills Press Anthologies, several Poppy Road Review Journals, and numerous Kind of A Hurricane Press Publications have accepted her work.  Her latest title is Having Lunch with the Sky and she has four Best of the Net nominations.
