The Power of Touch

I remember us saying we'd post what we wrote for Dr Cook on our blogs, and I just finished up mine. I decided to write a found poem using her tweets. She introduced me to both twitter and found poetry so I thought it fitting to try to do something with that.

Power of Touch

By Joey Bonaldi

For Dr. Cook

Holding on tight

To the narrative

At her core:

There’s a metaphor

for everything.

Fall asleep, take a walk

In the clouding

Mercury-logic of reality,

of memoir.

Meet a new day

Hold on to the memory

Hold on to her life.

The power of touch,

That’s her narrative,

That’s her core

Hold on tight.
