pane by Angela Thomasi don't know if he understands quite
what goes on inside of me when he's
next to me. it's been two years since
i've seen him, and yet it seems like
no time has passed. yes. yes. yes.
i want to scream the words a thousand
times. and then i remember the end.
feeling like life was over. hope
had dried up and the well had gone
dry. i poured my heart into his cup
and he drank greedily, spilling out
what he didn't want. walking away.
he admitted it all tonight. closure.
and a window. a crack in a window
that had long since been shuttered
to the elements. to letting anything in. 11/18/2014 Posted on 11/19/2014 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas

Posted by Rob Littler on 11/20/14 at 04:05 PM I leave my storm windows on all summer...and I too marvel at the depth of filling I can do when there is even the smallest cup wanting water. But we do our own drilling now, don't we. Thanks for your write! |
