matches by Richard Trotter I search, like picking out matches from patchworks of labouring bonfires not knowing what will crumble in ash and which will be A to my B, will the wounds weep like sunlight or recoil in blisters of woe? 09/16/2004 Posted on 09/16/2004 Copyright © 2025 Richard Trotter Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Melissa Arel on 09/17/04 at 12:42 PM The last two lines were my favorite: "will the wounds weep like sunlight/or recoil in blisters of woe?" So much beauty in such quaint words.. I have always admired how you can take 2 knowingly simple words and fuse them together to make such gorgeous lines! Posted by Stephanie Kent on 09/18/04 at 03:21 PM Those last two lines really struck me, as well..."will the wounds weep like sunlight"...that is brilliance. Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/18/04 at 11:27 PM Brilliantly haunting...like Edgar Allan Poe circa 2004. Indeed, academy award winning line: will the wounds weep like sunlight.
