Henry in the Rain

[Lykren]

I will leave you
with dust on your fingers.
The family tree
is cracked at the root, and
no choice would have served you better.
A pale insult
like a drop of water
comes trickling down to your tongue.
So final? you remark,
and as the time moves slowly by
you lift your umbrella
and walk on.

Thank you for reading.

I thought this was a very good offering. There is enough for the reader get a sense of the events, but leaving enough room for a mysterious atmosphere to make it all that more interesting. It could almost be an ending to a story. Really enjoyed the language and depth of the visual images. Fine poem, at least in my opinion.

Thank you so much, Buh4Bee.
