Black and white
Old newspaper clippings
as they hang on the wall
my old toys
stored in the cedar chest
the color of skin
as we work together
my two dogs and cat
chasing each other
my ink gliding across white paper
as I write this poem...

What Is Poetry
By Dawne Zacharias
Poetry is an
ever evolving
idea moving to
a new becoming
as the
opening of a
cedar chest
enlivens the senses
it creates a new essence
ripped from its original author
it becomes a new poem
an open-ended adventure...

Violin - Multiform
VIOLIN - multiform
the old cedar chest
cracks with a dry musty blast
an edison bulb
in the gloom brings back the past
old news and dad’s violin
scratchy violin
alexander’s ragtime band
old 78
now the house lights dim
quiet anticipation
walking on – perlman!...

Disappear
I left today…
You do not know
That you have let me go
You do not hear
The closing door
Or see my shadow cross the floor
You do not feel
The ache of loss
Because you’ve yet to come across
The folded note
That simply rests
Upon our bedroom cedar chest
You’ll never see
My shattered heart
Or witness any tears
Because you are not here...
To see me disappear...

Traces
an old photograph
uncovered from a cedar chest
peppered with dust
and frayed at its edges
how its subjects
smile with quiet pride
asking not to be pitied
that their time is spent
all of this family
elder and infant
bride and groom
are long since departed
fingerprints shimmer on its surface
traces of the hands that held it
laughing, crying, remembering
and I add mine...
