amputated fingers of want by Maria Terezia FerenczIt is easier to be empty
these amputated fingers of want
no longer grasping reaching straining
trying to catch hold of ideas of AIR
that should grow when held tightly
but somehow are always let go
I am pruning fruitless branches
hoping to force growth
from these
amputated fingers of want
too long blackened
with the dust of dead dreams 11/18/2006 Posted on 11/18/2006 Copyright © 2024 Maria Terezia Ferencz
