3WW...detach jolt surge
out of the blue
a reality jolt hits
a lightning surge
of divine intervention
karma.. call
it what you like
she is destined
to be detached
unattached
a disconnect
a solitary
frayed faded tea towel
held by a single peg
on a rusty clothesline
the fly on the wall
outside looking in
she must resign herself
accept without struggle
she will never
find that connection
well perhaps
only with a hamster
A hamster would be better than some wouldn't it? Thought this a wonderful play with words, and appreciated much the finish. There could be worse things...right? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, the right ones seem to be hidden while the false ones seem to be rampant.
