10 poems, found
written in the 70s
hidden in the bottom
of an antique steamer trunk
Resurrected like saints.
Words, like broken, stained glass,
forgotten till now,
surfacing like ancient scrolls.
Words, scribbles of postpartum bluz,
forgotten till now,
outdated,faded lines of betrayal,
severed promises of a cheating heart.
Words, written from left to right without regard for margins,
resurrecting the life of a shattered past.
