Serrated Pages Poem by soren Barrett
Serrated Pages
Locked behind dark storage shed doors
the smell of old rat urine
in gnawed paper shavings
swarming with silverfish
memory's graveyard of holes,
past emotions now bleached
in faded yellowing photos
cobwebs,
dust, roaches
and droppings
all that's left
A very moving poem embellished with compelling and abounding images. Well crafted.
serrated pages or....chewed old dirty paper? Or....one big stink hole, in any case: it is very clear what a rotting, stinking waste this big pile is. Very clear language and at least one praising and honest response, Dr. Barrett
