My friend Cathy gave me a can of Moxie soda today (which tastes delicious), so I thought I would write another poem using the word in her honor. Also, thanks to Melissa Craig for letting me use one of her breathtaking photographs.
autumn collapses
into dawn, a heavy heart
and I can no longer feel
precarious flush skin
or shallow moxie.
