Six Poems by Mary Bone

 

Chalk Line 

 

The4 body of evidence  

was cold to the touch. 

A chalk line drawing on the sidewalk- 

blood splatters of a crime. 

Lights were flashing, 

as questions were being asked. 

Yellow tape marked off the scene 

of a homeless man’s death. 

 

 

Archived 

 

Archived on a dusty shelf. 

Put away and then dusted off 

on a rainy day. 

My thoughts came to life 

In one cool breath. 

 

 

A New Creation 

 

Encased in a cocoon, 

after being split open, 

I emerge as a new creation. 

My wings grow,

as I fly away 

Trying to find 

The real me. 

 

 

Fish Tail Sky 

 

It was a fishtail sky, 

Whales were in the water, 

as clouds floated by. 

It took the scales of from my eyes, 

to see more entertainment in the skies. 

 

 

Lavender Sachet 

 

Lavender sachet, 

comforts of home. 

Relaxing moments 

In my easy chair. 

 

 

A Fall Collection 

 

Seeing a pattern 

With autumn blues. 

Anywhere I go- 

I wear a Fall collection, 

With a layered look.
