The Perfect Poem and Story
Sometimes the last to know
a heart is its owner; needing
a fresh ear to listen, to nestle,
embrace and navigate—
I think, before the end, every
beat should be accounted for:
the lost and not found, the
never searched weighing heavily
on a aging spirit—at the least,
one should know, thoroughly,
where they have been before
taking on any new journey.
But this is not a perfect world...nor,
somewhat sadly I must admit,
will I ever write the perfect poem
and story….
