And so I pick up my chisel
And begin whittling you into
A shape I am more familiar with
I do not know how to hold
Your absence and so
I turn you into
A poem instead
About the Creator

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I love both the simplicity and depth of this one!
A nice transformation!
I love the last two lines💖.
This gave me Taylor Swift vibes but I couldn't narrow it down to any particular song. Loved your poem so much!
Sending hugs for this, and I have been there 💔💔
Ah ha! Poignant and fitting for a poetess, Poppy! 🩷🩷
