In Pulaski, Ohio
By Nancy Kangas
It’s me,
a thin road I don’t know
a house with nobody home
a barn that blocks the setting sun
all risen from this confidently flat land
all here obviously
in the middle of a February cornfield
in the middle of the universe
It’s me
the road, the house, the barn, the yawning field
and a big white dog
bounding
So happy
he’s got his paws on my shoulders
his breath at my breath and his whole
heavy self leaned against me
so close I can read his tag
His name’s Lucky
and he likes me
