HOARDER OF INTANGIBLES
was
empty
as the day was long
a hollow
bell of a man
always looking
for comfort
for some way in
for something
warm
holy
true
for a break through
an incantation
a ticket home
an endless love
salvation
but never found
a goddamned thing
he didn't
have to make up
or steal

Thanks so much, k.
The ever elusive intangibles -- a never ending quest -- the seeds of our rampant consumerism.

Dear J,
This made me think how many intangibles I hang onto that are unrequited. And the pathetic thing is how long and long ago I’ve held them from when they happened. This is such a fabulous subject matter. Very clever. Very relatable. H🌷

Thank you so much, Honoria.
There is sadness and humor in our quests for the ever elusive intangibles.

Okay, look. I can only handle so much of your poetry before being overwhelmed. So...I am going to work my way back slowly, slowly through this all-you-can-eat-buffet and just marvel. It's like German Chocolate Cake. I love love love it, but can only do so much at a time lest I...well, you know what I mean.
Bingo!
Bingo!
