A New Poem by Sandy Hiss

Hidden in the Cracks

Rummaging through your face
blue ocean eyes
the one i remember
an old file
dusty
think unopened bottles
crown royal
coke
stored away
where i could not imagine you

today
i wrote a lost memo
some new clutter

questions
hidden in the cracks
spiders spinning tales
a gold hoop tangled
in denial
returned to sender

you came without a tie
apricot soap
a white angel
greeting me
hand signed
always
a long ago
when my fingertips
tasted your goodbye
