The Interruption - Anne Clark

I am the sharpened sword

The cast stond

The words that linger too long in the air

The rumbling silence over the length of a room

The lie that lay between two lovers

The hopelessness in their struggling

The price to high to pay

A dark and obscured voyeur

Combing through your secret

The stranger to the child

Loneliness in solitude

Sand in the drinkers mouth

Shadows over sunlight

And all the time you are with me Uncertainly

Certainly of falling

Scars of souls

Scars of skin

Stars too far away to see

Wave on wave over the swimmers head

And all the time you are with me
