Geoffrey Ngoima Ndegwa - A PILLAR OF SALT FOR YOU

Grey days ahead; the bag is on my back. <br />Uncertain stares; strange, distant, blank? <br />Always with you I did not know what to do, <br />But I won’t turn around- a pillar of salt for you. <br /> <br />The wind from the past blow again, rewinding <br />This taped record of lost love- hurting, halting <br />My feet for a little while, just a minute or two, <br />Though I won’t turn around- a pillar of salt for you. <br /> <br />I am not alone- hear the debris breathe, <br />Then- gasp- grasp, as I cross the bridge. <br />Carcasses behind, nothing to go back to, <br />Now I can’t turn around- a pillar of salt for you.<br /><br />Geoffrey Ngoima Ndegwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pillar-of-salt-for-you/
