20 Poets read from SGVPQ 48


Jeffrey C. Alfier
THE FLOWERS OF HER DECEMBER

So this is all the earth she knows now.
Winter could fracture stone and spill

into graves, the wind scuttling leaves,
petals and US flags into the year’s terminus.

A man breathes warmth into ungloved hands,
her name strained through a fist.
