Pledge
Dusty shelf, your sin is in
how you tell everyone
you’ve gone untouched
for so long. The invisible
world was here today, again,
and I stood still while it
swirled around me, maybe
this is what you mean,
but it’s hard to get past
your skin, filmed with time
itself. It’s not that we
want to kill the dust, just
hide it, move it from
one surface to another,
there will be no aging today,
not under my roof.
Very nice Hannah.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your connecting the dust with time and aging...not wanting to discard it but just moving it to a different place.
Gracias, mi amiga
Wow...glad I did not miss this poem...it is painfully beautiful, the invisible world, the skin, the dust that personally I would rather kill/and thanks for Marcoantion's interpretation...I find other comments always useful...happy July 1 : )
