Orange, Black, Green,  
The Carpet; The Sand 

by C.C. Russel
  


Days when the secret spots
of the reservoir
opened secrets
of skin
and reopened
until we would lie
more than walk.

Perfect android lines
of what I wanted
and you knew.

Playful.

And the smell on the wind
some days still
ten miles away

and that is the closest

I come

because that place is you

repressed.

The forcefulness of truth

and lack therein.

Sometimes I would give it all away

to have it all back.





C.C. Russel lives in Wheatland, Wyoming. Former editor of The Owen Wister Review, Russel now works as a convenience store clerk — a job, we're told, that is highly-suited to literary pursuits.

Russel's work has appeared in over 34 publications throughout the U.S., Canada, and England, including: Cotton Gin, Oyster Boy Review, and The Hiram Poetry Review.
