An Aging Page

AN AGING PAGE



on a frozen floor

   silent consonants scatter

      smelling of black roses’ filth,

         chair without audience

            fleeing from abused vowels…

now alone, an aging page

Very unique and imaginative take on the contest, Nette. It's funny how different people can look at the same picture and come up with a wide range of interpretations. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
