Remembering Wallace's Laughter - a Found Poem

Trying to imagine, Elspeth

her sister no longer

same house, even if they

continue the patterns

she could never forgive them

 

grief as strong as

her sister’s pity – done

nothing, nothing

she tried.

 

two women –

scorned and insulted

lacerated by guilt

a guilt whose enormity

increased tenfold

Clustered at the door

not because

not because

love but for

 

Margaret, naked

dare

she want the sound?

 

disappointment

made some magic

dismal nightmare

waiting to be released

 

Incantation rose

Puritan stiffness

Gray, expressionless, stone

 

Night pacing, puttering broken

Throw down impulse
