Carried Away

One rainy night we sat in traffic

and, overtired in back, you saw

a wind-whipped grocery bag afloat

beyond the clutch of jagged branches,

swept by gusts and whirled in eddies.

So begins the poem "Carried Away" (2010) by April Lindner. To read that poem in its entirety at the Poetry Foundation, click here.

Thin-skinned,

it pulsed, translucent jellyfish'
