We Have to Talk

by Jane E Pearce

You blew away

like a tumble weed,

and the letter came-

"too

emotionally

involved"

too

emotionally

involved?

What a cop out-

"nobody

said

anything"

nobody

said

anything.

Is that why

in my dreams

many full grown

oaks away,

I look at you,

put my hand

on your arm,

and say,"we have to talk"?

I especially enjoy the format of this trying summation, Jane. The line breaks make it all that much more dramatic. Good stuff! Pe4ce...

"You blew away like a tumble weed." I got a kick out of the wording. Good poem Jane...Charlie
