PROMPT — If only ...
If only
love and tolerance
had been stronger
over time
then,
like dinosaur flesh
any fear left
on these bones
would have
disappeared
a long time ago.
Gail Epps should be considered a “re-entry” poet who is once again seeing poetry as a literary methodology where language can open hearts and heal wounds. At this point in a creative life which includes careers as a chef, headhunter, scholar, and a rock and roll musician, poetry makes sense as another mystery box for making the images and plans for a kinder world where love will always flourish and prevail. Gail writes from Durham, NC.
