GUTTER
On the edge, almost always unnoticed,
the gutters along the edge of our roof.
That is till they get clogged or filled
with leaves or “stuff” and water backs
up sometimes into our walls or homes.
Me, you, when our gut gets backed up
with “stuff”:
regrets, resentments,
hurts: the consequences of our neglects.
