I love words and dig poetry slams. I've been writing poetry since I was about 5 years old and my mother tells everyone I was born with a pen in my hand. I am a project manager by profession and reside in Utah with my handsome husband and our two outstanding children. You can read more of my work and follow my poetry adventures here: http://trishhopkinson.com/.
The Seams
When you lose
someone,
the loss of others
returns
in waves,
a crushing longing
of memories
seeps in under
the floorboards,
warps each plank
and raises
the seams.
I try to steer
away from
the wind,
but it follows
me and
brushes
my cheek
and brow,
reminding me
that I’m still
here and I have
yet to
drown.
