*"Swallow"*
This is a poem from my recently published book,
“God Loves A Riddle: A Small Collection of Poems.”
All confusing and affirming.
These poems were written during the most base need survival years in
Boulder, Colorado; while facing 20 year old PTSD flashbacks of the murder of my infant son never before surfaced.
It seems I was piecing my fragmented life together almost as quickly as the puzzle pieces were being thrown at me! Frightenly abstract.
Idle
Wild
Saddle
The nicely fitted child
Panacea
Frail
Static sail
The anxiously penetrated veil
Babel
Cross
Iron
The patiently amputated backwash
Caliber
Callow
Whisper
The indifferently mustered swallow

I don’t understand poetry at all M, but when I read this I felt very sad. LIke a child hiding or a child who has become indifferent to the pain. I felt touched and moved by it. B
