what's up with you? by Richard Trotter Friend, you ask, what ails you when thought and wisdom fails you when flower roots derail you? I answer glumly, 'tis her hair that falls like a shattered stair desperately leading nowhere. And the stars that shine on sadness to pick out each facet of madness and certain people's coldness: With their rows of hangman faces betrayed in different places the wide and gaping lonely spaces: So the lessons I cannot learn leave the hollow man to yearn willing the pages to turn. 06/03/2004 Posted on 06/03/2004 Copyright © 2024 Richard Trotter Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Stephanie Kent on 06/03/04 at 08:35 PM "'tis her hair that falls like a shattered stair desperately leading nowhere."
