LYNN WHITE: Loss

Artistic, Poetry, Submissions, , , ,

The door was unexpectedly locked.
He found an open window
and climbed in.
She was lying there
on the bathroom floor
dead
beyond revival.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” they said
but the greatest loss was hers,
the one who was
dead.
He knew then that irony
was still alive.

LYNN WHITE: Rock Pool

Artistic, Poetry, Submissions, Top Stories, , , ,

Just a small gap in the cliff side,
dry and bare,
unremarkable.
Then in came the sea
washing over it,
some staying
leaving
a little
pool
of salt water.
Like a pool of salty tears
filling the gap,
bringing it back to life
temporarily.
Tears can sometimes do that
temporarily.
