Gerry LaFemina
Gerry LaFemina is the author of two books of prose poems, a book of short stories, and six books of poetry, the most recent of which is Vanishing Horizon. He divides his time between Maryland and New York and directs the Frostburg Center for Creative Writing at Frostburg State University, where he is an associate professor of English. He still believes in vinyl records and real books and has too many of both.
An Image Of Godliness
Like the Turin shroud with / its image of godliness, / her yoga mat holds / the tattoo of her body, each pose / immortalized by a particular / indentation, a stain of perspiration.
July 2014Daybreak
Light like the moment after the baton tap & before the first symphonic note. / Light of the possible, light of the improbable. / Light not like the way she says the syllables of my name.
