BARNACLE GOOSE

“...a tiptoe through the back, out by the barn,
where roosters rest near cattles filled with milk.
She spots an owl, wonders if he knows
that something’s happened here, that something grows.”

Over two millennia, a relic travels from Bethlehem to Graceland, bringing comfort, confusion, and visions as it changes hands from royalty to vagabonds. Presidents, clowns, and creatures wander through weaving lines of verse. Here is a tale of mothers and their sons. Here is a tale of fathers and their daughters. Here is a tale of places thought dead and the world to come. The path is plagued with burdens. The promise of respite is ever-present. Even the Almighty lays His head down to dream.
