Finding My Old Poem

This paper is so old
I feel it cling to my skin;
feel it on my hands
invisibly visible,
dust of my forgotten words.

A sentimental journey...I'm recovering some of my older poems, and also I'm making a project of actually typing out the hundred or so poems I have lying around in my famous pocket notebooks....

This one didn't have a date, but it was on the same paper as one that was dated, 1969.

That said, I really ought to post the thing, hadn't I?

paper so old
it clings to skin;

invisibly visible,
dust on forgotten words.

My oldest surviving poem is .... let's just say it's very very old. LOL I think it's on papyrus. *G*

I like this very much, my friend... and hope you keep finding them... that's diamond dust on your fingers. *S*
