Sand bag Life is a sackcloth bag, helically stitched And filled with earth and sand I've carried my self like that sackcloth bag Firm yet shifting subtly as it moves With small flaws at the bottom stitching Leaking a little here and there along this path Unnoticed for years: mental incontinence Parts of me here and there left behind Carried myself with seeming ease Unconcerned of the trail I left Grains of sand that were hard to follow Nothing more than moral flatulence Just a bag of sand Slowly leaking as my life moves on A trail for others to follow or avoid Grains of wisdom and lunacy Who am I to judge Now just a bag of bones Copyright 3/14/19 Richard L Ratliff
