Big News! My husband won the photography contest at the local library for a black and white version of a photo very similar to this...he is a talented and humble guy with a great visual eye. I am encouraging him to really celebrate this affirmation of his skills as a photographer!
And also....I won the adult poetry contest for this gem....read and enjoy!!! What a thrill and one step in the direction of the creative life....and my family was there when the awards were handed out. A great moment!
Red
It stopped
My heart
Your breath
The line in
the sidewalk
Crooked, red,
dripping
Paralyzed and
enshrined
No one knew
what to do
There was looking,
followed by looking away
It was
supposed to be a rush
An immediate adrenaline
filled push
Emergent
precision, everything counting
I’m screaming
now
This is not
the end
This is not
the beginning
I want the
meantime back
The
in-between, the waiting to,
The
uneventful
The red line
is still moving
Flowing,
while you are still
A hurricane
of the unacceptable
I am free falling
Watching the
red become shielded in white
Begging for
movement
Move
Move
Move
