Love this, Onelia - the search for what remains alive between two people is an essential daily task and infinitely worth undertaking. Beautifully, simply put in a perfect pice of iimagery. x Jan
The analogy is complex although the message short and sweet; somewhere beneath the exterior (sheets, clothes, pages, covers, wrapping) lies the sought after object. The dilemma is how to communicate that message without losing the object... Rgds, Ivan

On your part your heart opens nicely.Well written.Short, simple, sweet poem.10 and more.Thank you
Superbly concieved and executed in its painful poignant awareness of how another person can be lost to you amongst the ordinary bric a brac of the day where we forget to care or be aware of the other as the love trickles away through your fingers as you desperately try not to spill it. Have a look at Louis McNeice's wonderful LES SYLPHIDES for a similiar wonderful exploration of this all too common emotional ailment love Donall Donall
lost? a bit hasty in unwrapping, may be...the phrase 'seems so hard' is carefully placed between two wrappers...either way it won't get lost... poem very much 'heart'ening to read...10/10

Ah... I really like this One. It's often when our loved-ones are miles away that all we want to do is get them back to us and yet... they are off & away in their heads. Your analogies worked a treat in this one. HG: -) xx
You have made excellent summation of Greasy Fish n Chips.... One to take off.. or One to take away... my aroha to ONe xx
Brilliantly enigmatic and illuminating poem - as ever, One. Fx
Beautiful and succinct. Written in a way that is entirely your own! Am always envious at your ability to write such beauty in so few words. Poignant and a little painful if I'm honest.. HG: -) xx
