Truth Is Fallen Poem by Susannah Anderson

Truth Is Fallen

Rating: 5.0


Truth*

is fallen in the street. Her walker
tipped in the gutter,
ankle snapped Can't get up,
old bones like straws

softly now
slide her in tie her down
gently Coddle her.
Watch for shock.

Ask her the date
Take note; confused
and wandering
Humour her.

Truth wandered alone
into the street
in walker and nightgown
looking for yesterday


*After Isaiah 59: 14

Good but so sad. Poetry is often like that and so is life. Impressively well written. Welcome to PoemHunter
