Rebekah Gamble Poems

It’s near dark
and I have just finished
putting my planting tools away.
...

Putting the mattress
on your head
is one way
to clean under the bed.
...

I have wronged
the girl with the long dark hair
who asked for nothing
but to follow me.
...

Words are the strongest
things in the universe: little gods.
It was with words
light and dark were created
...

Everything in the universe
is searching.
Often I search
for friends and wisdom,
...

I am convinced there is a god
in the river.
I am lucky.
I am not like the Japanese man
...

I remembered last night.
I told the child
that that was not blood
on our friend's body,
...

I sat there staring out the window,
not seeing what was there, but thinking
over why the Norwegians are so obsessed
with the idea of hope.
...

I am writing this
simply to tell you
that the most beautiful
sound in the world
...

Taking a bite of toast
Is like taking a bite of life.
It has been mixed
Like childhood experience.
...
