Gracie -- I think.

Submitted by Obadiah Grey on Tue, 2022-02-01 13:58

Thought I filed her
in the drawer,
third one down
I thought,

in amongst the
clutter of things
I should have ought,

Her name is lost
to reason
many seasons
past and gone,

Though her face--

her face is
emblazoned on

this evening setting sun.

Obi.

Last few words: 
ah well.

little poem that lets one enter the realm of your private thoughts. Nice job! I wonder who Gracie is?

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

“In the drawer
Third one down,
I think”

Masterful in drawing the reader in right away!

Love the imagery of having too many things in the file cabinet…
