Poem of the Week

Last Shred of Paper

Swimming against a background of midnight blue satin

gulls flew overhead

out beyond sight of the window frame

no other human connections within the stone walls

remained not even a memory of their footsteps

from a world gone past.

Last desire burning away in that forgotten fireplace

the tiniest shred of paper that bore the words

“Life simple and free”

blew past the grille

down the narrow staircase

into the violets gracing the

front doorstep

never to be seen by anyone brave enough to pass by.
