I pick up
what you
deliberately dropped;
the broken
object discarded.
Yet its
brokenness remains
in you.
Is this
your healing?
Do you really want an answer to the question, ”Who are you?”
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.

This is very good. I love that the broken object is discarded yet it’s still within the person.

I am unhappy with the final two lines, and they are dependent on the purpose of the poem.
