What's Left?
by
Suzanne Sunshower
I've tried reading poetry of unrhymed verse
            
     and teasing cactus to grow
               
                in the corner deserts of my mind -

joined the souls poured into whiskey glasses

     - shipped in boxes    this side up    
                
                this face down -    

heard little buds    

     crack on
               
                crushed stems -    
                
saw unspoken words
      
     peeled from pursed lips
                
                litter the floor

then get

     licked up
                
                again...


What's left?
