The Whisky Blot
Journal of Literature, Poetry, and Haiku
One is ironing his habit carefully, nosing the hot tip of the iron into gathers frowning in the off-white fabric. There is a method here, a dance implicit in the movements made, stepped into many times before – hand-lift and footfall surely done. Skill focussed on the task in hand, it has the comeliness of calm performance like fruit ripening, a steady coming to the full. He parks the iron to cool down, leaving all as neat as before. Carrying the alb across his arms it looks like a limp pietà. Jim Friedman has been published online and in anthologies. He had his first collection published in 2022. He is working on a second collection. Comments are closed.
