The listing, Visual Art & Poem Bookmark has ended.
Art & Poetry on Buses from the Metro Arts Program.
On this approx. 6" long & 2" wide bookmark, there is a poem by Joan Swift:
Remedy for an Old House
Like the hande that fixed a single
moon on the black sky,
hang on the wall something amazing -
a long cabin quilt stiched
in reds and blues and yellows and greens
back in 1930
under which a man and a woman
stayed warm
without money.
That look was enough.

Another poem on back. :)
morning reflections over the miso soup
the silence of knife
flat on cutting board
speaks to me of morning
mottled leaves
fat robins finishing off berries
the dog who won't leave the door
spears of scallions
sprinkled atop the steam of miso
bobbing green boats
in a hot brown sea
my wife wants to know
what time it is
