a pair of sevenA Poem by seathYou are the fourteenth And I would not hate you for that You are but a two-edged---knife Useful to others but abhorring to my sight! You are but a number But you cut through my consciousness Like a lemon pierced in tears Succulent yet estranged to sweetness.... (And again on this day I would see- I would see as I ought to be........... Pairs of slippers slipping down the lane.... Pairs of sleepers conjoining down the curtains; Pairs of inseparable palms swinging like chimes! Pairs of arms twined like knots on the moonlit docks. Pairs of heads assimilating into hearts Pairs of silhouettes slanting on the benches Pairs of threads and needles confining themselves Pairs of tongues ---- ? I’ll leave that to your minds.) For you are the fourteenth And you are but a number I’ll always have the thirtieth On the inside corner Of my affective attic. © 2013 seath |
