Bones

175


Cart of bones did rattle through the days,
raising dust and stones in rickety roll,
along the side of language, rising cliff;
words did stutter deep of anger's toll.

Reason rode atop, held tangled, fraying reins,
sought to sustain momentum, hold the road,
as memory drew absence, hope took flight;
time  baffles longing, lost in hidden codes.

Desire was loaded high in bulging sacks,
demand had tied them tightly, bitter thread,
as sanity did sort, raised fresh needle yet;
so was the load of sorrow sent to test.

  1. I had hoped that the load of sorrow would have been sent to rest, but if tested there will be tears to find I am sure.

  2. and so I read this piece that I found blest,
    with all man's souls enrap't, my heart impress'd..

    Thank you. That was delicious, smooth, rhythmic, coarse, delving, incisive, and well -written.
    Did I write: I like it.
    Bravo.
