Poem


Tara Found


in the cloudless,
powder-blue air,
found through
an open window,
lock or no lock,
the dream of reality
slaps like glass
or the reality of a dream.
If you need
a helpful hand
to turn the latch
to your own forgiveness
or the next day,
reach for my metallic hand
shaped like a key
or stevedore knot
or my palm-shaped heart.

The painting is by Edward Hopper. I like it because you can feel the loneliness of the subject but in the window there is blue sky, sun and hope.

What do u think of "Nothing's worse than warm tears" for the title of a poem?

I'd have to read the poem....to convince me or allude to something along those lines. For me, nothing is worse than non-salty tears (not being light) just means I am not human, same with blood, etc....we are a salty lot, you know.
