As many others before her
The aged woman felt
Suddenly
Too tired to try
To be the woman
She was just a moment ago
She struggles with her self
Expresses her disgust
Through attempted joy
Feeling the tremble of
Irony
In her shriveling, knotted body
The bawdy schwa
Issues forth
Breathy from her soul
Down deeper
Than the thrill
Of her lover's heart
They lie
Naked
In truth
He is rejuvenated by her pain
She is betrayed by his ecstasy
Expressions of Poetry
- Thomas Horton
- Fragile memories remain tucked away in the crannies and crevices of my grey matter. These are the shards of moments real and imagined, and they must be handled with care.
