a sonnet by Angela Thomasthere's a poem brimming just under
the surface, a drop of water suspended
through tension with the air. i pull
away right about this time, all the time,
back into a suspended state of smoke.
i haven't done anything wrong and yet,
crossing the same park i watched from
my window so many years ago, (and i
can say that now, for real), i felt a pang
of nothing to say, which meant there was
nothing good to say. words hanging in some
stupid text message and he's probably
sleeping, dreamless. this sudden awareness
feels different tho. it feels like poetry. 06/23/2011 Posted on 06/23/2011 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
