Cast From The Hand
By Ann Niland

Cast From The Hand
There was a time
When nothing much mattered
Except for what amounted to
Less than a handful
Indeed
One could hold a cup full of sole within the same hand as this bauble
and still have room for ones keys
and yet the sole would go un-supped
and the keys might fall to the ground in order to save so much spark and light
so much insight and deception,
that corruption of time
To keep it close
To keep it safe
To allow it in
To never let it go
Throw it away! Throw it away!
A constant companion
That nothing and everything
The apple in your eye
and mine
All of us baked in a pie
Throw it away! Throw it away!
