Oil Slick Poem by Susan Lacovara
Oil Slick
You do not know that each day
No matter which
Contains a moment
Belonging to only you
I cannot help it
Try as I do
Like oil that bubbles
To spill
After a deep well drill
Cuts far into the rock
of my stiffened soul
There you are...
Always
Slick and thick
A greasy goo to stains my heart
And it's helplessness
To escape your weighing me down
The price I paid to unearth you
Far too high
It escalated beyond the scope
of what I thought best invested
The fair market price
Of discovery black gold
I love your choice of imagery, metaphor... it is so well connected :)
..The price I paid to unearth you Far too high It escalated beyond the scope.. Love and it's ups and downs. And we move forward, thank you so much for sharing..

A powerful metaphor that carries to the surface the intensity of a pain that resonates all too familiarly. A creative idea executed with skilled writing. Bravo, good poet. :) S
