Troths by Carl Sandburg
ByYellow dust on a bumble
bee’s wing,
Grey lights in a woman’s
asking eyes,
Red ruins in the changing
sunset embers:
I take you and pile high
the memories.
Death will break her claws
on some I keep.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
I read this poem earlier today and it sort of messed me up.
Oh words, words, words.
