The Lit'ry Life: Press Readers Write—
Poetry by Marcia Conant

Friday, August 12, 2011

Motherhood

I would so much enjoy
dropping that heavy glass
hearing it smash and watching its smoothness shatter in slow motion,
the ice cubes skating across the floor.
If only it wouldn’t be me
who’d have to clean it up.

—Marcia Conant, Old Shirley Road
