Dane Karnick
The house shrieks like cellos
Shaking bows on 61st
As each cornice snaps
Allegro energico
Where meals once served crunch
In a John Deere moment
Helpless against minor keys
Trashing years of badminton
In contrapuntal swing
While the tractor swings away
Square footage between grades
Like an overture
That unflinchingly
Bulldozes all school years
Into a tidy coda
Dane Karnick grew up by the
Colorado “Rockies” and lives near Seattle.
His poetry has appeared recently in El Portal, Umbrella
Factory and Ephrastic Review.
