Old Poem, Fresh Take

Terry-Hamilton Poore

Bifocal-less in the bookstore,
I skim a line by Tu-Fu—
“ragged mint settles in the spreading dusk”
and I can smell it, freshly torn,
singeing my sinuses with menthol burn

until I squint and find he wrote “mist,”
not “mint.”
“Ragged mist settles in the spreading dusk”

and so it does more and more,
as my arms, even at their longest reach,
fail to fend off the creeping gray;

but ragged mint raining down,
pungent and green—
now that you don’t see
everyday.
