Cross Currents,  Wntr, 2003  by Dennis Saleh

SHARD

DENNIS SALEH

Outside of town on the outskirts of a frown
meaning's leaning propped in place
by light that hangs upside-down

Old worn transparency
Clouded fragility

How much less is there to say
How much less is left
perhaps not enough
words to make a future come true

Only silence like glass

This moment lasts longer than the last
The next cannot be imagined

And then later there was no later
And then one time there was no time
And then at last there was no end

Dennis Saleh's poetry, prose, and artwork appear widely in magazines and anthologies. In 2002, he read from his poetry, and a novel-in-progress set in Ancient Egypt, at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California.
