TWO WOMEN IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE GYM
Listen to Va Boyle’s reading along with instrumentalist, Lois J. Henrickson (Lytingale)
one dark and shining, the other
paler by half
one with pink turban, the other
a cascade of curl
they wave, skitter like polished stones, across
an asphalt sea, swept
to each other, on a relentless tide
they fold in to one another,
like a harbor
liquid and supple
they hold on,
as though moored
