The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for February 2011


the morning spider
in the bathroom
disturbed
by the bright lights
of my early rise

scurries for
the safety of
the wall behind
the calendar

reminds

me that we
share this
planet briefly

(the time
it
takes to run
away)

her few days
my few
years in search of
tolerance
food and a peaceful
rest

mine interrupted
by the business
of the say

hers by me

and poetry
