Two Poems
Bryce Thornburg

Metaphor

Turns out you were right
From the get-go

The hunch I had
Couldn't be

Straightened out
So I kept busy

Stayed put
Threaded

Dead necklaces
Made lace


Render

At fault had at it
Giving the eyes
Their lived-in look

Slight me
With your
Small apology

Are you
Worth taking
An axe to
