If you let someone love you will they wander off?
will they
get lost
or side tracked,
like I did when I was three at the market?
a tiny ivory elephant was
my desire
then,
the square of soap that smelt of sandalwood.
My loves, my treasure.
If I am someone’s
ivory elephant
will they leave me?
to fall through the cracks
in the back seat of a purple station wagon
maybe…..
and maybe they will remember me one day,
maybe they will remember me fondly.

A beautiful, anxious poem–and I *love* the spirally lines in elephant! Both evoke memories of childhood in the mind of an adult–very resonant.

This subtle poem from silver poetry blog moved me very much. I found it very poignant to consider our own vulnerability and the possibility that we could become a white elephant for someone.

I love this poem and the painting accompanying it beyond words. There is something so delicate and fragile about it … and yet, there’s a sense of strength and hope, too.
This part: “If I am someone’s
ivory elephant
will they leave me?
to fall through the cracks
in the back seat of a purple station wagon”
It’s so beautiful — it just gives me chills.
Thank you so much for this beautiful poem.

Thnkyou, I think it is a realisation of the irony of life and love and the truth that we ‘ourselves’ are our own best bet…. maybe by developing trust in the self we can truly feel safe and secure in an insecure world 🙂

Who could forget you? I have to say, though, that it is sheer brilliance to have woven a poem about the possibility of being forgotten around an elephant…notorious for their long memories. 🙂

Thankyou for being an extraordinary bright spark in my universal brain!
