[bodytext] => ________________________ Across the table …salt spills Omens Old women cross themselves Mutter strange prayers Uneasy The meal goes on Having been prayed for Forgiveness Will it ever come? I watch your hands Afraid to look in your eyes They will know Maybe they already surmise I can’t taste the food I listen to the conversation You are not in it I long to hear your voice I feel your mother watching me Judged an adulteress Will they take me out and stone me after dessert? The dull clank of silverware Symphonic Building to crescendo “Where is your wife?” You stutter something ridiculous I feel my cheeks turn pink Then I start to laugh We are not children Who need to explain our actions “She is gone” I say it loud and clear My heart pounding in my chest I look at their lined faces Stark reminders of age You look at me A man drowning at the dinner table This is awkward Clumsy explanations flutter behind my eyes No, I won’t fall for that I won’t make excuses She made the first move I wait for you to catch up Your mother smiles at you You start breathing again [comments] => 3 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 20 [informant] => Merry [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InternetLove )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
