These are Days We Cannot Fathom

by Lisa Marie Brodsky

The birth of a calf

with no mouth.

Oatmeal bowl
spilled.

Love
is a stone whipped
at the back of my head

and when I turn
there is smoke

where you once stood.

Author's Note: This is just a revision from a longer piece, I'm still working on it. Also, I'm wondering how to format a poem because some of these lines should be indented, yet I don't see a way to do that.

Remove the first four lines and you have a comple poem, obviously, meaningful on a different dimension. SEE, what I mean.This depicts some intense association turning into nothing.
