What Remains

by Philip F De Pinto




What remains
of what once fit
snugly in place
like a slap
in your face
of the mortar
which once held
stones in place

The hair on such stones
perfectly combed
mussed by a brusque wind
to which one does not
wail or confess

Coiffured and stacked
along a country road
that bode not well
for neighborliness

A wall in disarray
miles from debate
to demarcate
work from play
them from us

Evocative write, Philip. Great visuals add to the cerebral foundation.

What remains... A gaggle of embraces is precisely what is needed---It has been a long time, dear one. Glad this was the first stop I made.

...heavy as that gravity and your voice rings clear and true throughout this...gravity and a gaggle of embraces...so true...and days like this seems so far away (for what I read into your words)...good to read you again...
