Mud (fragment)

Posted on March 15, 2014 by Susan L Daniels

The paths that I walked
are grown over,
impassable from melt

a mud that holds everything still
in its need for footprints
and bones, not yet hardened
to shale

a process that kills
and preserves
you call fossilization

but I call 
a dangerous past

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Ah, Susan. The sticky mud of the past may not all be mud. ((SIGH)). Well penned. Alice
