I have lost Poetry,
If I ever had it-
My endless small confessions of feeling
Are my only poems now-
...
I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
A far worse version
Of what was once me
...
I AM OLD/ BUT I STILL WALK ALRIGHT
I am old
But I still walk alright
...
The aches and pains are temporarily gone
Life is good again
Crankiness irritability
Are no longer necessary
...
I once loved the books so much
Seeing them made me glad
Now they sadden me
I do not read them anymore
...
ONE READER
One reader is all one needs
One listener
...
A poem cannot diminish the Loneliness
The Loneliness is greater than any poem-
The Loneliness is great
...
I LISTEN TO THE LINE I WAIT TO WRITE
I listen to the line I wait to write
I hear myself speaking the poem to myself.
...
MY CUP RUNNETH OVER
My cup runneth over-
I have been given so much-
...
WE ARE NOT AT THE CENTER
We are not at the center of the solar system
We are not at the center of the Galaxy
...
