A Few Wooden Nickles

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

So, were these wood coins

in my palm whittled or carved

with an axe? I was warned

not to take any, although

edged artistry, the equable

verissimilitude, the cheek.

Warning unheeded, I will not

try to spend them. They

are not real but prison

is.
