Poetry of great beauty from Sue
It was easy once
When I was young
And didn’t know.
*
Words that were everything
And nothing
Tumbled from half-parted lips.
*
Misunderstanding
Deforested acres
For fragrant missives
Carried next to a heart
That fluttered deliciously
If erroneously.
*
Wanting to believe
I believed they believed themselves
And let myself be fooled.
Wanting to belong
I willingly became
A belonging.
*
It isn’t easy now.
The words won’t come
In face of the real
I am rendered dumb.
