Working on it
by Dawn M WilliamsCan you feel
The coppery/metallic taste
Bubbling into your mouth;
The tingling as if your skin
Is not your own?
No, not yet.
It is not your death, it is your
Rebirth
Your humanity clawing its way
Through the layers you have buried
It beneath
The soot, the ash the fire
Caustic, cleansing,
Painful
But change always is. 09/07/2010 Posted on 09/07/2010

| Posted by Roger J Kenyon on 02/05/11 at 07:33 PM Great poem Dawn Williams throughout, but the last six lines grabbed me and as yet have not let go yet. A very belated, congratulations on POTD. |
