Waist lines stretch family man fills his belt becomes something contrary faces warp cheerful one day the gain evokes horror but people are commodities as are their preserves, undernourished to bed hungry one piece of cloth sometimes it fits as scrawny fingers cover a mothers pursed lips... Others drape themselves simple morphs to finery a robe carries a note ignorance carries a starker melody Waist line expands globe turn on itself and I'll stop where dust covers my toes cheerful whites on the top khakis to the knees this is not about clothes but how we fill them exceed belted limits conflict is enacted towards a better fit to better admit its good to go without the extra meal Think warped faces chew and swallow will you now? they would give a right hand after the left whatever is left once the earth cracks to swallow whole fringes excess cloth from the drapes that wrapped food sraps Another draped in knots a robe for a despot waistlines widen on an urge to fill others wrap themselves or are wrapped away a horrible note becomes warped melody [This message has been edited by ecrivan (10-19-2006 12:29 PM).] |

a horrible note becomes warped melody good lines... I come away feeling the dismay in your words this morning. The world (to me) is made up of bits and pieces that just can't seem to make the world puzzle whole. Always nice to read your thoughts( even if I take away a different meaning than intended) |

Here is yet another poem open for interpretation, the writes are intended to instill thoughts that are not always comfortable and that has been said before, I think by the late Lyra Pierce if not others... there is a tendency to look at the final lines and come to a conclusion of the whole piece, I do that myself...really it is one reason I like keeping my writes short and sweet so other meanings don't go unnoticed  thanks for putting a word in on how you feel about it though, this one comes across in 'honor' of the period of Amin.. where 300,000 were conveniently disposed of..they were of a different cloth, you probably see where I was going...  |
