    Hello Floor


    I have come to walk
    On your earlier made footprints
    A garden of designs
    Made by barefoot individuals
    None of the prints go into the room or out
    They are all in the dark corners of you
    Always in the spaces where spiders make their webs
    Mine of course are the footprints leading to these spaces
    But never finding my way out of the room
    Of the corners entangled in a web
    Forever lost in dreams of wishing
    Wishing to find my own self
    Imagining what I was like
    Thinking possibly
    That I was put here to find out

    End
    James M. Williams 1998

    I wrote this poem after my sister died. I was basically struggling with my feelings about mortality and the role it plays in everyday life.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
