Possum Pottery
Quizmo LaGrande

Possums playing tricks in pots,
In pockets, in my pensive heart.
Lying stoic, hardly brave
Home, a terracotta grave.

Playing possum in pink pansies
Possum smiles for possum candy.
Can petunias cover up the tears
Hiding possum sins and fears?

With possum bags I travel west
Turning east one day, then jest
Pretending hardened earthen matter;
Pretending possum clay not shattered.
