Mystery

John McMeans

May 14, 2023


Our finely mixed soil slate holds hope

In the dark unseen of its peat

Womb. We look longingly at these 

Cedar beams, this garden bed, and

Wonder whether seeds will wake from

Slumber.

John McMeans lives in Amarillo, Texas with his wife and young son.  He received his BA in Geography and currently works for Refugee Language Project (refugeelanguage.org).  His writing has appeared in a poetry anthology published by the High Plains Poetry Project.
