Notes About The Poem

Naked Places

Shall I undress my wounds?
Expose to you my darkest closet?
Prey tell who would dress my sorry heart
Inside of me
There is fear
Naked fear
You can not feel
Nor can you hear
In snow drifts I sleep
Dry eyes
For I lost
All the tears
In the years
Of
Having
Broken strings
Deaf is the violin

Jean Murray October 23, 2017 at 12:11 AM Trust me...... I'm a nurse. I agree with Jan, it's either tassels or blood. Either way, it's a bit cold to have them exposed like that. Arthur Vaso October 23, 2017 at 12:12 AM Being the romantic, I only saw the pain and sadness on her face!
