Sam






Sam
By Jon Slone






Sam crouched in her prison of waiting and cried.
And the streaming of tears made a pool for the bride.

And the box that contained her, it never consoled.
And her blanket of sorrow couldn’t fight off the cold.

And a small speck of blue that bore out through the crag
Did little to reverse her from striking her flag.

So there the girl slumped, in the chains that hope bought-her.
And the only thing left there to do was shed water.

  2. Wow, that was grim and yet so beautifully written. I was really taken by the imagery the words evoked. Good work, Jon.
