      Now we’ve gone sleeper
      we’re never coming back.
      We’re too in love with the bed,
      how it folds into seats,
      how we fit into our roomette
      like a paperback sliding in
      and out of a carry-on’s pocket.
       
      Next we’re going tiny or without
      luggage or coach. We’ll make canoes
      of our backs and dining cars
      of our bellies, so we can savor
      our supper like the sea otters
      we spotted last night floating by.

      “I joined the August Poetry Postcard Festival because Carla Shafer, a Washington State poet, serendipitously attended my reading at the 2019 Magic City Poetry Festival and invited me. I love postcards, so I couldn’t resist. Writing poetry postcards each day in August improved my writing process by encouraging me to write a poem in one go instead of rewriting and revising line by line. I also gained an appreciation for Emily Dickinson’s habit of writing on small scraps of paper.”
