Does What Comes Around…


heaven comes
in seamless lines
wrapped in boundaries
a razor splitting
a single hair
and I stand
warming in
a candle’s flame
holding an
unopened letter
wondering which
bill is
now overdue

At first I thought it was winsome then I laughed my head off.
Good one.

I find your poetry delicate and substantial at the same time. Like riddles you can't quite pin an answer to, they stick, and keep asking questions.

Some things come around, some things go around. Some things stay, and sit on the shelf until the envelope reseals from its own weight. The trick is to know whether it's an opening or a re-opening.
