Immaterial Substance







You've worn me well,
or I -- you

immaterial substance.

I am that one lone leaf
swinging;

(I've missed the wind)

dewless, cracked

Of no importance or relevance;
inconsequential and irrelevant.

I wake with you in the mornings
peel off your nights

slip back into your neon
veins

one foot
at a time

again, to wear you well

or you -- me

    Thanks so much for reading dear friend. I must tell you your latest piece inspired this one. It was the feeling I felt when reading yours AND I'm just kind of blue today. Missing my kids I guess

    It seems that the wind..landscpe..nature and your sentiments here just intermingled and words are through from it..just great work indeed...

    The background goes so well with the poem, Dee - make me think of the bony charachter of dry autumn leaves. I like the "duality" of this poem...bittersweet and the way the line "you've worn me well" and "to wear you well - or you --me" plays with words, innuendos and emotions. Can very much relate to this poem, lol. Maybe it is a good thing that we are made of "immaterial substance"! Be good - this is a well-written piece.
