Gretchen Oelrich Poem
West Texas Wildflowers
Waving in the wind
Weather-worn whispering
Whirling warnings to my window
As I water my wallflower
The weeds won’t stop growing
So I whistle the wisdom
I once welcomed
As I wish it away
Watch me wane
As it wastes me away
I’m wilting
With the willows
Weeping
Weakening in this web
woven around me
I’ve quit wondering
What a wasted world
I’m surrounded by
Windows but the walls are all warping
Who waged this war not worth winning?
Will all you want
But wait as you will if you are not working
No time for wandering
I work because I’m weltering
But I’ll always grow weary of the wyrd
The west Texas wildflowers warned me

Gretchen Oelrich Poem
Skeleton in the closet
Hiding between her baggy clothes
Grappling in the shadows
For one who thinks she knows
What doesn’t haunt her feeds her
Hunger for darker truths
And deeper holes through which
She escapes when the door opens
And her secrets are exposed
