Staring at the blank words floating across your page, you say "I never got the meaning of Dickinson" and we are standing in pools, now, puddles of dripping consonants and vowel shaped stepping stones, rules, that I will not take back to you I am going to be stubborn and these thoughts will float behind your back to me, to keep me company in the bitter cold of absence, you can keep the excuses, you can wait until I am older to tell me "the way things are", this is the way things were Do not flatter yourself to say that I miss you, I am concentrating far too hard on the shape of your text to be drawn into confusion, I will fight with one word answers, draw your own conclusions but don't you ever, ever think that you are better than that. |

Allysa, This is amazing writing!!! I thought this was especially brilliant and flowed wonderfully: "Staring at the blank words floating across your page, you say "I never got the meaning of Dickinson" and we are standing in pools, now, puddles of dripping consonants and vowel shaped stepping stones, rules, that I will not take back to you" Your poetry always evokes my emotions. I'm probably wrong half the time at my interpretations of others' poetry, but I sense a trust was violated, causing uneasiness. If it is so, I wish you healing. Believe me, I know how it hurts and angers. Take care, Alyssa. miscellanea |
