161. The Old Songs



by  Karla Dorman
- Burleson, Texas


The old songs
sing the pain
I have seen lately,

penning its
path on my
face in wrinkled lines

of writing ...
poetry
of life you can read.

You know the
lyrics as
well as I do and

sing along ...
our tears flow
together and flow

in measured
rhythms of
collective sadness.
