IN THE COUNSELOR’S WAITING ROOM

- Bettie Sellers

​The terra cotta girl
​with big flat farm feet
​traces furrows in the rug
with her toes,
​reads an existentialist paperback
from psychology class,
finds no ease there
from the guilt of loving
the quiet girl down the hall.
Their home soil has seen to this visit,
their Baptist mothers,
who weep for the waste of sturdy hips
ripe for grandchildren.
