Today's poem: "Ode to Barbed Wire" by Jared Harél, from the Fall / Winter 2022 issue of 32 Poems. #poetry #sonnet #sonnets 32poems.com/poem/jared-h...
Jared Harél Ode to Barbed Wire To clarity of purpose. To hell with subtlety. To the way each helix gleams under sun, grows meaner come dusk like certain trees. To the squirrel carcass knotted at Con Ed and the sparrow’s nest perched over Rikers—rustic sweetness between ragged teeth. To miles of it inked into juiced muscles, tight biceps snaked with stars. To stars which are the barbed wire of outer space—so distant and fiery they’re downright uninviting. And to that star— six-pointed, stitched—above my grandpa’s heart, and the coils that would hold him like a child missing home.
