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.

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.
