    Poem Commentary

    This poem is a true experience...the look of grief that the alone possum displayed...haunted me then and I still think of him. I especially love opossums...they are a misunderstood and called an ugly animal...
    learn about them ...they are clean, caring and beautiful....and the only North American marcupial ;^]

    opossum alone

     Late dark night
    No stars in sight
    Speeding along . . .
    Something in sight

    Blindly starring
    At the headlights
    Sitting very still

    Opossum alone
    Near fresh road kill
    A loved one . . . guaranteed
    Alone so lost and hopeless

    My heart ached
    Thank God I missed
    So painful that another did not . . .

    I could not help but cry then
    and when  I think
    of the opossum alone
    I do stll

    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.
