Glass House Happy Hour

Glass House Happy Hour

A Poem by Brittany

 

 

we piled our rocks by the door

tangible pieces of ourselves- to collect

and show us when we woke

the next day, that

we were still here

 

many lugged boulders

some brought small skipping stones

i threw pebbles into the heap

hoping to be under-estimated

 

my pebbles rolled through the

cracks and fell, between

stones and boulders

 

and i suddenly know

how it feels to be

overwhelmed

I've read a few of your pieces so far and I must say you have an excellent way with your words. Simple and to the point but filled with depths of emotion and honesty. A pleasure to read.

We're known by the stones we throw. Underestimated indeed.
Happy Hour isn't always happy. Thanks for an original perspective.

SO moving!

That is all I can say for now.

I really like the concept of this. The boulders, skipping stones, and you as pebbles. I like the format and where you break each line. It flows nicely and was a great read.
