David Byrne Poet Free verse

Paste

Sorrow numbs 
The mind like
Paste in cling film
Nothing can
Penetrate
You squeeze it
With your thumb
All over shapeless
Lump
I know how a heavy 
Heart feels _ no
Pep in the step
I can’t imagine you
Anymore !

Carolyn Devonshire October 9, 2010 at 5:25 PM Heartbreaking poem, my friend. The sorrow and the numbness don't allow you to feel her presence. A heavy heart, indeed, David. Hope this doesn't reflect the way you are feeling at this time. Love, Carolyn
