Basket Case

I always tend
to worry about
all the wrong things
unraveling the lines
of detailed colors
in the weaves
of grey baskets
what does it
really contain
but the company
of questioning
try as I do to
resist complication
of tearing apart
flexible frail bones
tightly connected
hooked to strength
for put together
or pulled
it still just
holds me empty

My favorite reads are quite often the ones where I see myself...add this to the list...

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
