a fringe of dried mud
along her rusty skirt

Virginie Colline lives and writes in Paris. Her poems have appeared in The Mainichi, Frogpond, Prune Juice, Frostwriting, Prick of the Spindle, Seltzer, Overpass Books, BRICKrhetoric, Yes, Poetry, Dagda Publishing, Silver Birch Press and StepAway Magazine, among others.
Virginie Colline captures a moment of her time in a presence of a self emblematic uncanny life experience tucked in by language and compatible with a poet’s distance and images of an intensified dimension.
I love the verse — and the image of the ’58 (I believe) Caddy!
