"Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a little."
- The Celtic Twilight, W. B. Yeats


Weighty words sink in my stomach.
I swallow phrases, pretty
words that mean
nothing or
too much.

Cry?

Sometimes.

Sometimes,

Sometimes,
questions force themselves up the
tepid stream of ugly thoughts
that is my throat.
They catch sick
and die
on my lips,

poisoned.

Poisoned

Poisoned,
I grasp guiltily, covet
others' objective brilliance.
Cut off, distanced, separated.
I reach out to touch ineffable things.
They offer nothing
but a pain in the heart,
a texture to watch,
a smell to see.

Wow, I feel like that too often. I'm one of those people who likes to be left alone but still craves to be in a laughing group.

 

I really love this poetry you wrote. :)  Keep up the good up!
