Jenny

A Production of the YSU Student Literary Arts Association

Measurement

by Patrick Cuff


We were thumb-widths on a map
along a folded crease of paper,

and though no more an inch of gap,
a space of greens and herbs, I’d wager,

I dreamt wide fields of brambled thatch,
           thick as fibs and deep as ankles,

far beyond the sweat of labor
