A Conversation with My Salt Lamp

Poetry

Can I waste my poor words

Any diction or jargon on you

Just about you

I do not find such a squander worth while

Perhaps a funny strange form of survival

That when a heart and mind are swirling

The same cycles in tandem and apart

Your poetry is a kind of squander

My cycling heart and mind think art

On busy days you are nothing,

Just a crystal sitting on a table,

But my quiet nights call on me to look at you

And ruminate about a few fables

They said that, her she it and them

But the crystal is not listening,

It ignites in a quiet rhythmic ‘hmmm’

Relax and tidy up,

The day is over little missy

Go on, and tuck your family tight

Perhaps tomorrow won’t be so busy
