Given to Speculation With twist of moment she stumbles- blind sighted, stunned by his admission- Reverse decision. Words, few in between but unforseen. And her beast breathes First, in bothersome batting of chatter To and fro - Why? Why not? How could she know? And it grows. While left cries out poignant pleas for silence, Right reckons her possibilities, which quickly make transformation- reincarnation, Given to speculation. Rounding full circle- soaring, then descending. Making its way, Stalking its prey. To feed upon her indelicacies- Simmering stew of inadequacies. Once removed from fire long ago, but robust again. How could she know? And it grows... This beast- molded in her image penned in her name With no other to blame... Defeated, She bows her head in shame- Given to speculation. |

Dear Patricia, how nice it is to read you! This is high level poetry and the incomplete evidence brings forth a powerful suspense. Love, Margherita ps I have just realized that we were on each other's poems contemporaneously ... lovingly connected! Thank you! |
