centering the eyes a ginger bend of testing knees white knuckles grasping all his pride ignoring my astute attest of ankled hobbling--he rose-- triumphant in the stand. sometimes years lack balances pain wrote the parentheses so I grabbed a magazine grazing in the land of dream I watched him snatch some dignity from the corner of my eye. so again, I looked away. I read the placard on the wall for the umpteenth time that day silent as he paid his bill standing there so tall... tears dug rivers boasting pride love created canyon cheeks-- it happens when you smile that wide-- bouncing babies on a knee holding that dear hand of crepe planting seeds from yesterday arms eager for the grasp of life. never looking back at me-- framing me my disbelief wagging a fine finger's breath: all the inbetween is death." |

Karen...Your words need to be framed and hung on a wall, they are so touching and beautiful. Loved the pictures behind the words...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |
