Pretty Poetry

I think I dropped a poem here somewhere

It slipped through my fingers

To creep sulkily into the cracks of the wall

 

It was rather pretty

A pantomime of color and dreams

Of happy endings and Everlots

Under my pillow

In my chest of drawers

Behind my desk

Under the carpet

Easy to lose or forget or forego

Perhaps that’s why I lost it

Why it no longer felt important enough to linger

I’m sorry I lost it.
