Not Some Abstract But A Poem

By Robert Mauro.

 

She never sees his body

as some twisted thing

no gunny sack of bones

with a set of eyes

like stones

 

he is not to her all gnarled

like some old tree trunk

scorched by white lightning

a limb snapped off

by the wind

 

he is not to her some set of tangled

roots rotting in the mud or loam

no. to her he is lush leaves of grass

not some abstract

but a poem

Robert Mauro
