behind




uneven
a surface behind tears
justice a word we speak

and the magnolia
keeps its flowers
under cover

dress made
of the thinnest silk
the one I choose

you a man
sending messages
as days pass

from a minute
into and on to
my untuned need

hands clutched
eyes
emptiness a room

as I slip
breaking a part

playing the third act
looking backwards
seeking the uneven surface

behind tears

Kath, this has left me almost speechless. I guess i have enough words to tell you this is amazing. You have set a mood and evoked emotions in these few but effectively written and constructed words. bookmarked
