Love me, love me not Dandelion clocks enticed the child: let go and fly to where another child smiled back. Would you love me? Could I? No answer came. We turned away. We did our chores, too shy, then slogged through years of working, forever asking, why? As thinning hair and aches and pains now beg a nap they sigh, May my parting lips praise he who'll hold me as I die. Kåre Enga (26.february.2020) A qasida for: "Invalid Item" , round 65. |
