Dear Lisa
By Lisa Vihos – Sheboygan Poet Laureate
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for keeping
your hands warm inside me,
for clearing out
used Kleenex
and those little paper pebbles
that were once Starburst wrappers.
Thank you for allowing me
to cradle your prized beach stone,
so we can both touch it
and calm ourselves
when life gets
a little rough.
Love,
Your Coat Pocket
