An Economy of Words
by Dawn Richerson → (All Poetry by Dawn Richerson)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

It is months before I realize
I never sing anymore. And,
despite pills prescribed,
I rarely talk or smile.

I have learned strange economy
with words, reduced communication
to simple requests and a few
necessary phrases.

“Thank you,” and “I love you”
I shower upon my son,
plus our ritual when
day is done.

Otherwise it’s, “please God
please God please God please”
and, “When will you let
me come home?”

Dawn,
I do so appreciate your pen of honesty, Honesty when scribed to parchment expells the dark, and ushers in light, thank you for the light you cast upon my path this day.
Sincerely,
Rodney Evan Bohen
