GIRL WALKING
She walking, eyes full of tears
knows not where she go
nor seem to care
any more
as that river, overflowed with
melting mountain snow-ice,
flood and current carried
house away
like nicely appointed two-storied
scow, she watched floating
downstream, around bend,
her home
possessions, all destroyed. her bike,
computer, photos and books
everything she liked
forever gone
Where now to go, run, hide,
bide time to think, start at the end
and end at begin
again
as little one walks, certain that
water rise no higher
than her boot tops.
Swishh...swishh

Tragic, but it could be worse. If she still has people in her life, that truly makes up for all. People, poetry and music.
ReplyDeleteLIKE your attitude of gratitude, girl!
DeleteUpside down arrangement.
ReplyDeleteFlood on one side, drought on the other side.
That must be devastating, losing everything like that...
ReplyDeleteA lovely write.
ReplyDeleteSad :(
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Steve. Still the poet after all! Have a beautiful day today!
ReplyDeletehard place of being when all you know is torn away by the flood...have lived through a few floods in my day...the worst was my grandmas house everything in the trees and such...
ReplyDeleteSometimes our walk through life can go through places like this where all we have known is lost. That is a tough one for sure. Great write as always Steve.....and yes you can have one of my butterflies. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove how swish swish makes it open to interpretation - whether she started all over again with a clean slate, or whether she stomped away.
