Lisa, when I first read your wonderful poem, the first line bothered me

then, I realized that "silk" is the thread and fiber of the passion that courses through your being that compels you to create...great write

yes, that is right Bob, my passion for writing is the fiber of me, the thread that keeps me going

that is why I choose the word silk, it is strong fiber

for the kinds words, love ya

Spell My Name

passion like silk
courses through veins
dusk crawls
across city streets

faded rattle
train track trestle
stepping over
broken glass

hustle in my walk
rain dust on face
guided footsteps
stumble forward

crossing
crestfallen alleyway
trying to chisel
out a trail
in the crumbling
concrete beneath
my aching feet

forgetting
the letters that
spell my name
hoping somebody
else can remember
who I am
when I'm gone
so it all will not have
been in vain
