August 8, 2012 “pencils and pens”
***
pencils and pens
standing on ends
some down
some up
in an old pewter cup
leads are broken and dull
ink leaked and dried
like forgotten flowers
petalless in a vase
stems all askew and aside
neglected poems and letters
unwritten beginnings and ends
love stories untold
left in a cupful of pencils and pens
