Short Boil Down Poems

To show a minus as a plus

Does it shimmer with confusion?
Quake with conclusion
Sulfate with the meanings residue 
confound and astound you?
Does it rake and equivocate
Does it boil down and resonate

stepped back
detached 
broke away
isolated 
drew backwards

Beyond words,
"I want,"
All heard.

Eyes locked,
Hands torn,
Feet move,

A sorrow that stares right at the wreath
Blossoming hope within our heart
To one day find a whole new start
The sky so blue yet full of you
The words once spoken also so true

The response that all of us will one day die
With tears that drown the grave beneath
The understanding that we bequeath...
