Several of CJ Clark’s poems have been published in online journals and Harbinger Asylum.
Raining Pears on Sunday
On Sunday
When they drove
Home from church
It was raining pears
A deafening sound
Like a million tiny dancers’
Feet pounding the earth
Filling ditches with pairs
Of pears the size
Of heavy dewdrops
Too small to be stopped
By ordinary umbrellas
The neighbor’s dog happily
Catches them on his tongue
A delicacy in the dry
Hot Texas Summer
And only a memory
By Monday morning.
