| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 03/29/10 at 01:18 PM "little girl lost/no Amber alert.." that line got me hooked. The rest of the poem reminded me of my agoraphobic days as a lost little boy who was glued to his street corner and his shadowy darknesses for far too long..good journey to you Joan..self-revelation is the first step up and out of the darkness. |
