The doubled belt cracks
you shudder quickly
and keep crying.


Huddled in corners
late at night
trying with no thumbs
to catch sleep.

And you realize
this is a way to die
not a way to live.


Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand.

Paul,

You say it very well in a few words.

Thanks. I was pleased with some of the poem.

Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand.
