Shelter - originally published in Lily Poetry Review June 2025

Shelter
 
library art gallery
poetry reading
a dank weekend afternoon
 
two without homes find shelter
from the rain with me
and eleven Laureates
 
as tobacco-smoke-scented
clothes and bones dry out,
are their hearts warmed by the verse?
 
probably not, but I hope
