Front Porch Review
A literary magazine for the young at heart and mind

The walled hollow space
            echoes my stepping.

A dusty edge of drawer
            defines your mark.

A single almond
            you left on the floor

says more
            than all your words.

Calloused nut
            balanced on my fingertip –

Unsown, I consider
            dropping the seed.
