Hidden inside a cotton gift bag
touch describes her
tears flow down a smooth cheek
honesty opens a crevice in her thoughts
and I feel coolness
and silkiness
Then I open the drawstring
and she falls silently before me
recovering herself
before I really know
touch describes her
tears flow down a smooth cheek
honesty opens a crevice in her thoughts
and I feel coolness
and silkiness
Then I open the drawstring
and she falls silently before me
recovering herself
before I really know
Bautiful poem.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the 2006 National Poetry Month celebrations here at A Revision!
I like the accuracy of the image of emotions peaking out before being brushed away in what I see as this goodbye gift giving.
