Erased but still there May 25, 2012

 


(sort of a response to one of her poems)

 

I love fog

It erases everything

Especially the mistakes

We see the river

Out from our office window

But not always the spires

That make up the city beyond,

You claiming it may never

Have existed,

But I feel the weight of it,

Even in the fog,

Our lives always dictated

By things we cannot see

Or control,

The whisper of wind

The howl of the storm,

The growl of the mad dog

Deep in the shadows,

The invisible aspects

Of our lives,

So strong we sometimes

Cannot exist without them,

Perhaps do no want to,

Perhaps we have become

Invisible ourselves,

Holy ghosts clinging

To this landscape

To survive.
