A Soiled Napkin Virginia Salter crumbs lie upon marblesque table top stemware on its side magenta pool oozes toward its edge slow, bitter-sweet drips plunge to the floor. . . in disbelief I sit staring all that is left of us a silent soiled napkin lies awaiting the busboy’s lift to the dust bin © August 19. 2000 |

Passion can be found in so many catagories of writing...the silence and the embaressment of reality lay on the shoulders like a ton....you portrayed this picture like such a true poet! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
