Laura Lee (Davis) Snyder Poems
I watch your mandibles tear
straight through sweet flesh and bones
of leaves. Your appetite to survive drives you.
After the wintering, I will fly,
...
Maple matrons
pull on fine velvet gloves
moss green
over lichen-roughed skin.
...
There was a woman
who walked between two canes,
a risky walk
caught between two worlds.
...
They got that statue all wrong,
the one of Atlas, boulder of the world
on his shoulder. I know.
...
There you sit
royalty among tall grasses.
The gall of you all
within my gate, within my own fences,
...
Since we cannot be lovers,
I peel apples, core
and slice in measured strokes,
combine cinnamon and cloves with sugar
...
There is faith
as long as there are seeds.
One can still hope
as long as faithful pollinators
...

The Best Poem Of Laura Lee (Davis) Snyder
Caterpillar
I watch your mandibles tear
straight through sweet flesh and bones
of leaves. Your appetite to survive drives you.
After the wintering, I will fly,
released from my shroud of silk like you.
I watch you now to see how
it is done.
