Susan Lacovara Poems

Like Eleanor Rigby
Sits Eloise Ridgley
Alone with a teacup of sorrows
Spent all her tomorrows
...

With the stroke of your hand
You splattered upon me
The Jackson Pollock stains
Of your sometimes love
...

I open up my heart
Raise the blinds
light a fire
My stocking- footed soul
...

Give me tiny thimbles of time
Alone by branch and budding breath
Rather I to see the willow weep
Drunk on Jasmine and white orleanda
...

What now of this silence
Falling a soft rain
Stilled the river of her words
That wet our dehydrated souls
...

Two. Tall
Towers. Taken
Turned. Twisted
Tumbled. Tossed
...

To the naked eye

He is frail
...

Play me beautiful
Long fingers finding
...

What promise will I make today
That I alone shall keep
For safe keeping
And with earnest heart
...

We were two entangle children
A lifetime ago
He has been my best friend,
Ever since
...
