Longing
on a tray
the congealed meal
no one fed her
an old man down the hall
freshly shaved
afterward
cleaning out her suite
we find his letter
under a table leg
so much we didn't know
by the sea
scattering ashes
in the breeze
he tastes
her essence
Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit. Please be kind, and do not copy any of the content on this site without permission and attribution. All rights reserved © Debbie Strange. I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
