X After An Accident Poem by ONElia AVElar

X After An Accident

Rating: 3.1


To D.

He is
all heart:
a naked,
walking,
talking
heart now...
After an accident,
after a loss,
his eyes, his mind,
refused to digest
the too crude facts;
sometimes refused
to work;
But not his heart;
it even opens more,
like tulip,
soak with tears:
it grows...

Love the wild surreal imagery of the naked heart walking abroad in all its grief and glory and the image of the tulip is truly beautiful growing stronger still by the tears that it spills. As always your heart reaches out towards another's heart and touches them with the comfort of your words. love Donall Donall

heart - tulip analogy is more than visual - it is a visceral analogy... and so apt. Rgds, Ivan
