New Poetry by Mark Nenadov

Resolve

Resolve is slightly out of my reach

like that lonely cookie jar

only accessible by a stool.

The stool is misplaced.

If resolve is a cookie

inside that jar

then I'm dieting

and nothing else sounds good.

How will I quench my hunger?

What have I done with

my precious time

other than spin my wheels

on the dry, dusty dunes

of a quiet afternoon?
