Poem in Your Pocket Day - Chiwan Choi

OK, I know                     Poem In Your Pocket Day           was yesterday, but I was down with a cold.  Here is a worth offering from Mr. Choi. Go to his site for more.

the garage

chiwan choi

the garage, once white,

sits quiet in the sun.

there is

a crack growing 

on the side of it, 

on the now gray wall,

starting from the bottom 

by the empty fish bowls

and

dirty paint cans, 

rising in three strands towards 

the small boarded up window, 

splitting into eight or ten,

these rivers

of my life 

that want to reach the sky,

one new crack, 

young and thin, 

breaking off its route

with a quick hook 

to the left, 

heading toward the shovel,

the rusted rain gutter, 

the half brown leaf 

caught spinning

from spiderwebs 

spun last spring.
