Poetry | November/December 2022

Love is an Element

By Natalie Marino

Saturday music class
on Spring Street.
Lined by lemon trees.

The other mothers 
take their places
behind the amber window.	

I am perched on my shadow.

Morning sings the sun's song
and the kindergarten children
rise like yellow stars 
without echoes.

Their voices 
are daffodils 
turning the room gold.
