The Junk Collector

[~K]

I saw her wings
fall off
& watched you
try to glue them
back on
but they never
worked...

before or after

Still

I will wrestle
your demons
until they
swear allegiance

or change their address...

I am the martyr's daughter;
a fool for all your garbage.

[joel]

but they never
worked...

before or after

isn't it funny how we try to fix things we think are broken to perform what we believe they should perform--though they never had, even in perfect condition?

great poem

[~K]

it is
the way
we are
to want to
improve
perfection

"Art is where you find it. Sometimes, it's in the trash."

[~K]

Art
is
everywhere

our
eyes
wander

paths
are good
to stray from

[Ann Bingham]

"I will wrestle
your demons
until they
swear allegiance"

these lines especially struck me. An torn between a mother protecting the child from the world, and a lover vowing to stand by his/her side to the bitter end, fighting beside them the demons of the emotions. I really love this write ~K.

love lots

Thank you very much. That is probably my favorite line that I have ever written so I am really glad you liked it!
