Light Cuts

but i wouldn’t fault you words spilling from a loose connection your heart a myriad of internal cuts and bruises exposed wires tattered and frayed i can hold such damage with barely a touch soothe the gnawing of varmints uninvited be that handy little light one carries to duel the dark Thu Mar 5 2020

The "gnawing of varmints uninvited" truly shows the vulnerability of the light. Nicely penned Maurice.

I'm just here to replay to some of my soup mails, I'm so glad I came back to see if you had something new, since I read your last poem a few days ago. Dear Friend Armand, I love the ending lines, I see how small any light, can make a difference. Especially during holding times. It's always a pleasure to see you are still here. With lots of love and hugs.... always and forever LINDA
