moving poem 2 by Kathleen Wilson
my tears
made the fireplace
the long wait
and the sand that settled
in heavy bags on every floor
I could not lift them
instead I lightened the recipe
with some improvisation
my tears
in the heavy mix
were hard to stir
in the strong solution
before it was ready
all the broken pieces
were set into the wall
and I started the fire

second thoughts but in no particular order

Humphrey on 10/12/09 at 10:20 PM Yes, that is how it goes and I read both one and two in back order and two grabs my heart strings and adds tears for I missing something today, or someone and maybe it is from a past I moved from...so that is how it goes but we do move one. Nicely done. smh |
