Click here- A letter home from prison
Like two hearts
waiting to be
freed from stone
etched by some sculptor's hand
we stand
apart
yet are one

Like two hearts
waiting to be
freed from stone
etched by some sculptor's hand
we stand
apart
yet are one
and the stone
breathes
and the stone
breathes
sort of like when a famous person farts, and everyone tries to figue out what you been eating from it....
I like the version you wanted posted... solid, captive, yet the promise of life. Funny how an error can bring so much comment.....ain't this place grand?
what some of the commenters observed, may be worthwhile pursueing, as a thought, maybe some trimming in the first, a little more fleshing out in the second, I kind of agree the stones breathing may be a little two much.
I thought the two letters were on purpose. It gives the poem an intense longing.
all of them.

nice work
