Carrying By Gloria Mindock


What is it about destruction that is

 so easy but creating takes longer

 

 What is it about the sun beating on skin

 making you feel warm then the cold takes it away

 

 The ashes are blown to infinity

 wind carrying them continent to continent

 

 What is this all about

 memory that won't let go.
