My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Poem#2--Fermata
My first instinct was to slap him,
but then out of the blue
reconsidered, shook off the dust,
and thought, why not, every fool deserves a chance.
In the backseat, in the snare of muscled arms,
gasps became wings,
unbalanced to be sure
and one blessed note
rising, and rising.

For day 2 of National Poetry Month.
