J M Blackman Week 45: Stairs

Picture 1


Picture 2


J.M. Blackman’s Picture Choice: 1

Title: Stairs

I. Stairs separate us,
stone and dust and hard distance:
two families split.


II. Sometimes the distance
Is nothing. Mere inches now.
We meet across it.


III. Quick touches, kisses,
And flittering embraces.
Now: stone is nothing.


IV. Nothing? The stone bleeds.
No, it is bled upon. No,
Love bleeds. Fast. Free. Gone.
