Do you perhaps
think your slight
so slight
really reaches

do you think
a poet
heart

beats any less

for your careless


oversight

so slight

so slight

so slight

so, no

Thank you for your comment Brian. It was meant to be powerful and was really very therapeutic in the writing.

"Do you perhaps

~ I take this to mean the slighting by one person of another and if that person who slights the other person understands how the slight can affect the person slighted. Am I correct?

"do you think
a poet
heart

beats any less

for your careless"

~ and if it makes a difference if the person who is slighted is poet.

"oversight

so slight

so slight

so slight"

~ Not an oversight, so slight...

"so, no"

~...but a slight. Yes?

A very interesting write; simple with not many words, but deep.

Anne,
Lovely breaths of words --
a simply complexity,
complexingly simple.
