wandering<\/strong><\/p>\n

life\u2019s beach<\/p>\n

we collect stones named hurt <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

we swallow these bitter lumps<\/p>\n

or keep them in plastic shopping bags in the shed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

like the seashells we never look at again<\/p>\n

or hide them under a lake to<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

retrieve at our lowest\u00a0 ebb<\/p>\n

and throw them at each other<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a9 rob walker 2005<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A reflection on the notion of Hurt and our obsession with collecting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This poem has only ever seen the light of day on a US poetry website called Plum Ruby Review. (Vol II Issue1 Summer 2005.)<\/p>\n
