The Poet

Julie L Scharf

Ancient companion,
You wither now
Underneath
My story.
You show wear
Beneath
The surface.
Pages move in the wind,
Broken, forgotten--
Skin-dried scratchings
Thirst for one drop
Of tender
Rain.
Words written to forget
Take no precedence
With you now.
You are here
And the words remain.
