Poem: Margaret Young

Lullaby

Drive west with me.
Night falling in the jungle
night falling on the ocean
falling on the children of beasts.

Remember when we drove
over the cliff into the tunnel,
along the path scattered
by the yellow moon?

Do you remember how new
we were, do you remember
ocean animals on YouTube,
souls along the bare shore?

The couple dances in the jungle,
in the parking lot, they drink oil,
lap love like gravy, night falling
on their lips, on the hoods of cars.

Margaret Young has two books of poetry, Willow From the Willow and Almond Town. Her writing has earned a number of prizes and awards including a 2005 Individual Artist Grant from the Ohio Arts Council. She lives in Beverly, MA and teaches creative writing and food ecology at Endicott College.
