Not Without This Thing We Hold

by Samuel B. Martin

By Samuel MartinPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Not without this thing we hold

For we must hold

And then we turn and it is all we have

To see this

To be this

Everyone has windows

Turning from you

Beaten and sad

Lost amongst the tatters of rat bitten cloth

Driven by forms

Lost by forms

This is what we have

It is

Whirling down drains

Spilling with the rain

Lost on a summer day

Deep in the pits
