Unfinished Ode

By Kelly Grace Thomas

I meant to write you a poem.

To dedicate lines and rhythms,

secrets and whispers, to every memory

that makes me compare perfection

to all the other days.

To know that cracks in fences reveal more than just a glimpse

and that when you drew the sun, I thought we were really

the center of the universe.

I hold these moments in my cabinets,

under beds and

pressed between the pages of books.

Waiting for them to waltz again with the innocence they once honored.

Or perhaps they will slowly fade, like a photo taken out of focus, forgotten before finished.

Finish reading Kelly's "Unfinished Ode" in a few weeks along with  "Shame on You" and "Chance Meeting" scheduled for publication in aaduna's upcoming Second Anniversary issue!
