Poem of the week - Respect by Melissa Studdard

Today's Poem of the week is "Respect" by Melissa Studdard.  I really like the kind of magical imagery mixed with reality.  You can sign up for a Poem a day at Poets.org   RESPECT by Melissa Studdard   Because her body is winter inside a cave because someone built fire there and forgot to put it out because bedtime is a castle she’s building inside herself with a moat and portcullis and buckets full of mist because when you let go the reins horses tumble over cliffs and turn into moths before hitting bottom because their hooves leave streaks of midnight in the sky because stuffed rabbits are better at keeping secrets than stopping hands because when the world got shoved up inside her she held it tight like a kegel ball and wondered at the struggle Atlas had carrying such a tiny thing on his back
