BUT MEMORIES-poem [W, 4-6-22, from my poetry journal of 1-24-22]

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter

 


My spirit was without

so I was “moved”

by my muse

raspberry jam

on her face, as usual

to write a poem

which started as

“My spirit is dry

I have but memories…”

which reminded

of the story

about the preacher

who prayed,

“We are but dust…”

And a little voice

piped up with, “Mommy,

what’s butt dust?”

The muse said

that it was now

time to “end”

the poem

Nobody wants to hear

butt memories
