Salt

Salt

A Poem by Leslie Philibert

Forest,the next.
Charcoal,iron,salt.
A grey ship sleeping under Crete.
Lines in a rooming sky,
as simple as a glass of water.
I am standing next to myself,
outside of myself,
before an empty house.

Reminds me of how i feel sometimes about the current process of moving im in. Simple, yet complicated. When going to a new home, it feels like going into a strangers home.

A sheer power of Imagination.....Works sweet and simple yet has a power to drift a mountain....
"I am standing next to myself,
outside of myself,
before an empty house."
A great and strong ending chosen to wind up the poem.

Simple yet complex...
I liked it..
Thanks for sharing...

Love the lines "I am standing next to myself... before an empty house."
Very interesting, dream-like state of existence. Well written

Mmm. I like the openness of your poem, the space in between the simplicities of concepts, yet each is boldly impressive. I can picture the drawing...a fine pen and ink...or the imagination of the event. Either so nicely conjured by your intriguing word choices. Simplicity is powerful
