The Pile
by Law Hamilton
Fragments, written
on a scrap of paper
Being saved for
later
Added to the pile
Images from
magazines
Torn out
Added to the pile
Newspaper articles
Never the time, to
be read
Added to the pile
Mounting cold,
Needing warmth
Draws in the pile
One by one
Revisited a last
time
And added to the
fire.
Law, I loved your poem because I could totally relate to it---plus it said so much with few well chosen words.
ReplyDeleteLaw ... I agree. Just can't throw paper out without one last look, in case I change my mind!
