JD DeHart writes



Rustic



They would hardly call me rustic, 
though my knuckles can bleed. 
They would hardly see my strength, 
though my face has stubble. 
I am a mixture of father and brother, 
a little mother thrown in, 
the well-lit room of my growing up 
and all the family warnings 
lighting my way, stone by stone. 
They would hardly call me rustic, 
though I have been stepping all 
this way, mostly blind, sometimes 
scrambling, uncertain, unsure, 
but in perpetual motion.
