This was the first poem I wrote on my brand-new laptop notebook and the first poem written in 2007! Sitting in the Roseville Paneras, I plugged it in and wondered what I might write. Then, I overheard a couple talking about a friend who had broken one of her little toes.
The poem wrote itself!
I heard her say to her friend,
Not quite certain
how it happened.
Not anything amazing
or anything.
It just broke.
They say it will heal
all by itself.
Not to worry.
In the meantime,
I wonder if —
old souls ever heal
like that?
