Stray Clips and Bits of Thread (Poem)

angular bones and plain flesh

hatched by scars hard won through time

considered answers to genuine questions

though replies appear wild cards

they’re never drawn from an unknown hand

sometimes they address the silent plea

one unvoiced that speaks so loudly

it cannot be ignored except to be unkind

thus the responses that seem nonsensical

no matter, tuck them down into some side pocket

find them one day when they are needed
