Curb (Revised)

He stumbled from a curb and fell into her
Victim eyes

So full of hope and promises.
Her voice

To his surprise,
He found those marbles, thunderstorms,
Those crumbling ‘cross the plains;

And answers, tho’ eluding him,
Were simply rearranged.

That pack slung ‘cross her shoulder,
Her eyes beneath a cap

Offered him some faint relief, some crutch to lean
In fact.

    Ahh so many potential interpretations.. An undercover cop in the midst of a set up?

    I like the partial visual.. not quiet clear but enough to draw a reader into creating there own interpretation..

    Smiles, It has been a long time my friend

    This is the poetry I remember from you. The meaning mostly only clear to you and yet it touches those who read it in a way that has us reading again and again so wanting to feel it the way the you intended it to be felt.

    Still...its always been my contention that poetry is a release for the poet. As such...it doesn't matter if anyone else "gets it" as long as it is felt by the author.

    Nice to see another of yours...
