24/30 Poem A Day Challenge

April 24, 2018

Sometimes a poem writes itself, whispering fragments here and there while I am about the business of the day. This is one of those.
I might have added the last lines all on my own though.

things

things break:
childhood teasets
porcelain plates
crystal goblets
legs, arms,
hearts

things disappear:
hand knit mittens
one emerald earring
mom's memories
time
people

things unravel:
special sweaters
perfect plans
friendships
minds

things fail:
science experiments
birth control
unsinkable ships
marriages

things end:
political regimes
long lives
april
poems
