Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Open Scab

Healing wounds 
     of betrayal 
          open 
               once more with blood 
                    seeping out of it.

Happenstance
     brings her
          face to face 
               with her 
                    former flame.

But this time,
     walking hand-in-hand
          with the woman he left
               her...
                    at the altar for.


                (Yalto)
