THE RODENT, by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON Poet's Biography
First Line: Day in and day out
Last Line: Everywhere I look.
Subject(s): Memory
First Line: Day in and day out
Last Line: Everywhere I look.
Subject(s): Memory
DAY in and day out,
What is there to do?
Sit and hold my empty hands,
Remembering you.
Memory is a hateful thing
That gnaws like a mouse.
I hear it nibbling ... nibbling...
All through the house.
If I turn through my music
Or pick up a book,
I find nibbled edges
Everywhere I look.
