Notes About The Poem

The Wind of Yesterday

Life is
Death is knots
A box of thoughts
Innate
Is not that above?
A twisted thing to ponder
Staring at 
A wilted rose by the casket out yonder

I thought I was going to see a poem about the lovely tree...do you think Ms. Kilmer would kill me? :-) Anyway, what else do I say? There's your thoughts in knots as Death and twisted as pondering about a wilted rose by the casket. The same old cleverness, the same old perfection...ah I'm getting jaded by all these excellence...
