Hole In The Hedgerow

Poetry, Stories, and Other Musings With Spilt Ink


Adrift

My tired heart bobbing on the waves


At night in the dark between sheets


Tangled up like roots


Finding spots and scars

Naming them as we go


Stories fill the silences and close the distances between us


And now we’re drifting out over deep water


Hurt by the ways she’s different


Haunted in the ways she’s the same


And all these daunting new things


Adrift alone on the water

  1. Sometimes we find it is those to whom we are closest from whom we are furthest away, eh, bro?

  2. “Adrift alone on the water…” I often feel that way.
    Sad and evocative.
