“Stuck” by Nolcha Fox

an Ekphrastic poem in collaboration with Sarah Erman

She couldn’t get moving,
her feet couldn’t pedal,
her bicycle tires
had melted away.
The bike frame all rusted,
her body all frozen,
she’d never get coffee
in this concrete state.

    What a lovely photograph your mother took and I just love this piece. It was very clever of you and I must say I found myself reading it again. We are a strange group the way we see statues. I see them as life too. I love taking photographs of statues. Beautifully written. Loved it. Big hugs, Joni
