ANNETTE SISSON
In the Blue Ridge mountains
granite swells its barrel
chest along the roadside.
Strands of clouds sheath
valleys, swallow trees
up to their crowns.
Blue-gray hills convene
in haze, and patches of bare
brush congregate on nearby
slopes, ringed in white
light. Already morning
kindles spent embers,
marrow of bone and earth.
Annette Sisson’s poems have appeared in Valparaiso PR, Birmingham PR, Glassworks, Rust and Moth, Citron Review, Lascaux Review, Glassworks, Cider Press Review, and others. Her book Small Fish in High Branches was published in 2022 by Glass Lyre. Her work has received nominations for Best of the Net and The Pushcart Prize.
