Prairie Baby

by Laura Thiessen

Northern prairie’s
Summer days
stretched
like sweaty rubber gloves
over too-big hands
Full of labor
Melon coolness
a sweet rain

Southern torso’s
Round abundance
stretched
like taut dome tent
waving in a thrashing wind
Full of living heat
fresh deliverance
an open door
