I'm hard to please when it comes to poetry. And I'm not much for posting words other people have written in a place where they should all be my own. But this was too gorgeous to not pass on.

This Is A Love Poem
by Mary Fell

My blood
suddenly
knows you are gone

It is shouting your name

It runs
down to the ends of my fingers
looking for you

It wants to be
a piece of red wool
unraveling
all the way to Central America

It wants to be a boat
coming into the harbor at Managua
carrying fruit

Through all the rooms of my body
it is running
opening doors

A child in a tantrum stamps
red shoes
demanding to know where you are
