About This Poem

Our Glass

.

Through the same glass
another sand sags
dragging excuses
thick extensions
unwelcome
going on
going by
going down
constant ripples 
without reflections
that engulf this soul
Somebody find me, Anybody

    Yes, the sand of time runs inexorably towards the end/fulfillment - it is our perception which validates it. Love, Suzette

    Great concrete poem (or is it shape?) The last line is very effective for the topic you are addressing. As you can see, I gave up looking for last place i left off. I will just start at your very first post and work backwards! LUv, Andrea
