The Block '06

The numbing sound, Of the slowing cogs. The box, The cell, The sentence. With more or less, Than what I’d had. No memories to display. No forward thought to process. Position like fetus, With head tucked to breast. My loving stare, His awkward glare. He knows we’ve lost it all.

She is my favourite tragic heroine... I wrote another about her too, but my PC recently crashed, (spyware corruption), and I lost over 250 of my poems... grrr!

Short, clipped phrases and marvelous imagery... great flow. So litle is actually revealed, leaving it to the reader's imagination... the mark of a great poem! Best wishes, Keith (PS try my 'Forsaken;' it's nice and short, or 'Different...') Thanks!
