Waxing poetic.

From time to time, every few years or so, I get this urge to write poetry. This week there's been an awful lot of it, and I kinda want to add some, so here we go.


"Quantifiable" (dedicated to, well, I hope he knows who he is)

Three Days Walk.
5 mph, 18 hrs/day.
times three.
Number so large I can't write it on paper.
I Love You.
7 days/wk, 24 hrs/day.
times infinity.
Number so large I can hold it in my heart.


(Thanks to the girl who asked me if I wore a lot of bracelets because I was suicidal. No!)

Colored strings twist round my wrists,
Reds and yellows, purple beads.
"Weighted down by bangles?" I
Laugh. Hardly. I am free to hide
Myself beneath these coils and
Let no one see the shape of
My pale, raw, tattered wrists.


(In memory of this summer.)

Kinship broken, we have scattered to the skies like ashes from flames
Of storyteller's
Novels echo from the circle
And to their yellowed list we sign our names.

From the Shire, down the Anduin, to Mordor
