Pregnant Pauses and Silent Proclamations

Pregnant Pauses and Silent Proclamations 

 

 

 

i am rich in my

poverty,

saving heart's pennies

for the rainy day

 

when your clouded eyes

will cry for me

 

and i, for investing in you

will grow a womb of love

 

enough to buy

the moon

 

and gift wrap it 

in azure blue

 

as it inevitably

hides where the trees

grow poor in their

wealth

 

and each leaf

has the head of a president

on one side

and a picture of us

on the other.---

I suppose the economic gap in the US is a popular topic these days...the working class has really taken a stance by walking off of low paying jobs or jobs with hazardous work conditions...makes you wonder where we are heading.

it scares me where we are heading.
thank you for approaching this one, Ada...and speaking on its behalf.
