old... worn
tired and slightly broken
screaming
I LOVE YOU
at the top of my lungs
but involuntarily confined
locked in from the outside
alone with myself
with endless amounts of time
to sit
to think
to dwell on that moment
still screaming "I LOVE YOU"
waiting for the reply
Author's Notes/Comments:
Written October 2011
As a part of the PostPoems Photo Poem Challenge. Took a picture at the Grist Mill in Marlborough/Sudbury MA. Going to try and find a way to attach it here, not sure if I will. It was a black and white photo with sharp contrast of an old boarded up shack that had a lot of writing carved in the side. The works "I love you" are the most visible words in the the photo.
