Jay-walkers by Patricia Wellingham-Jones

A young woman with bouncing hair
strides across the small town street
keeping pace with a yellow lab on a leash,
its muzzle made from leather shoestrings,
over the knot a red silk rose.

Patricia Wellingham-Jones has a longtime interest in ‘healing writing’ and the benefits people gain from writing and reading their work together. Chapbooks include Don’t Turn Away: Poems About Breast Cancer, Voices on the Land, and End-Cycle, poems about caregiving.
