she peers into a comma’s misfortune
too long a dig
to the bottom
of a heart’s quarry
where word associations rest
rotting like sweet apples
intertwined within
century-old roots
she smiles
grateful for her lack of utterances
and His grace-filled promise

Great imagery. I have a place like this. It is a place of negativity but still a quarry which is a source of rebuilding material in my thinking.
construction vs. desconstruction… 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, Carl. 🙂
I love the first line, “she peers into a comma’s misfortune”, makes me think of how I feel sometimes when I’m writing, staring at the page, digging for the words which only exist in my heart and mind.
