Poem For The Statehood Of North Carolina, November 21,1789 Poem

By Fred Tarr

Here on Lookout point
demarcation of three states,
always this spare, slim elbow of land
gloved in a demonstration
of green convergence
parades a garden of burgeoning
sweet vine and ravaging bloom.
Divides the aching heart,
Praises the grave and the grave’s sky
