Elegance Poem by Linda Gregg

Elegance

Rating: 4.0


All that is uncared for.
Left alone in the stillness
in that pure silence married
to the stillness of nature.
A door off its hinges,
shade and shadows in an empty room.
Leaks for light. Raw where
the tin roof rusted through.
The rustle of weeds in their
different kinds of air in the mornings,
year after year.
A pecan tree, and the house
made out of mud bricks. Accurate
and unexpected beauty, rattling
and singing. If not to the sun,
then to nothing and to no one.

'' Accurate and unexpected beauty, rattling and singing. If not to the sun, then to nothing and to no one. '' - in Italian: '' Precisa e inaspettata bellezza, che crepita e canta. Se non al sole, allora a niente e a nessuno. ''
