IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Guest Poet Stephanie Brown


Untitled


message from yesterday,
printed on the soles
of my feet,
burned into my mind.
the spot of color
the sun created.

tripping over legs,
tripping over legs,
feet attached to
the floor.
wild
eyes
blinked too fast.

i never saw it happen.

December, 1997


Stephanie Brown 's Questions:

1. Does the last line fit?

2. I like to leave a large amount of creative control to my readers, in other words I'd like to think that everyone interprets my poetry(and most poetry) in their own fashion. But is this intention lost when the poem doesn't make complete sense right away?
