There are scratches in the velvet--
lines that don't connect the dots.
There are winds that feed the water.
There are visions in ink blot.
Where there is light, a shadow plays--
aspersions cast by luck of moon.
Scratches in these velvet days--
that sound a hollow-ringed spittoon.
There is sand and memory,
fluid,
through a traipse of glass
mesmerizing in journey--
ruins--
through a glance of past.
There's hope in ticking of a clock
insistant in its urge to run--
the scratches in a velvet pile
show colors in the pass of sun.
Velvet scratches in deny,
that boast of being worn...
As if they told a war story.
As if they screamed of being born.

(a repost from open 20...kind of a reprise of feeling..and a bit of a "hey, we're okay" to all.)

Karen,

This is wonderful poetry, the kind I would buy the whole book, if just to get this one poem.

It is creative and every line unique.
Thoroughly enjoyed it a great deal.

According to other's replies something has/is happening and I want you to know I hold you and yours in my prayers. God's strength and perseverance be with you.

Hugs, Pat
