to blink is to miss
by Charlie Morgani'm suspect; everything i join, touch,
liberate, boost-up, all ends in breaking.
Rod Serling carrying a script, yelling,
"Cut!Cut!Cut!". putting it all together,
i see what's been the matter, the difference.
it's found in the blindness of ignorance.
(as it should be!)
i am happily peering from the edge, enabling me
to see farther and further;
yet as a wonderfully God-made man, breathing the God-breath
my future is pregnant, fecund. though, i am tired. 12/02/2011 Posted on 12/02/2011

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 12/02/11 at 11:54 PM The title says it all, and the poem manages to say just a little more. I like that kind of contradiction. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 12/03/11 at 02:53 AM Maybe it actually has broken, those pieces, but....oh, what an exquisite mosaic it's been Mr. Morgan!! |

A man on a journey, a wonderful one, into the TWILIGHT ZONE..." ( couldn't help the Rod Sterling-esque riff, Charlie. Like the cut of this jib a lot!) |
| Posted by Shannon McEwen on 12/03/11 at 04:56 PM love this Charlie, the title really says it all, and broken pieces are inevitable but give a poet so much more to write about. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 12/03/11 at 06:25 PM Yes, that Rod Serling reference gives this a quirky kind of feel, like I need to watch out what's in the next word. :) I am thankful for hindsight, and personal land fills, and I do like your pregnant words and nature, Charlie. Thanks very much for this! |
| Posted by Lori Blair on 12/03/11 at 09:40 PM Absolutely loved this Charlie! To be pregnant..is to be ready for the next unknown edge. We are just that I believe, tired, but ever so thankful for the gifts within life as well as after we pass. I am moved by your words of wisdom, my friend! Thank you |
