the glue of guilt
in slivers almond fine
flinders fly while
from a refuge of rock
old loss is planed away
smooth form bestowed ~
like lackluster limbo

Granite
honed chisels strip
the glue of guilt
in slivers almond fine
flinders fly while
from a refuge of rock
old loss is planed away
smooth form bestowed ~
like lackluster limbo

Beautiful watercolor and the poem to match.
I like "flinders fly"
Really nice poem, Sue! And I loved the line "in slivers almond fine" -- very clever. And your watercolor is beautiful -- I love the colors in it.
:)
I really like the phrase "...from a refuge of loss, old loss is planed away." If only it were that simple! The poem and image are a great match.
That is lovely; and I like the way the picture bleeds into the frame; pulls it in and makes it part of the painting. Just lovely
(puffs of love - below - very clever)
Your poetry is itself beautifully honed.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
This does have the feel of something painstakingly honed from a much larger original.
I really like the sounds my lips make while whispering this poem.
I like your economy of words :)
Wonderful watercolour and your words go with it very well.
That water colour looks like poetry to me..
The ending came a bit as a surprise for me, but a surprise that made sense to me. I like this a lot, Sue.
Very spare poem, but with great word combinations. I love that watercolor.
