White Rocks: A Poem

White Rocks

By Armando Ortiz


Search and move

Move and search

Search under the rug

And move the couch


What’s going on?

What did I do?

What did she do?

What did we do?


Turn over

And over turn

Turn over the couch

And overturn the books


Dig and fling

Fling and dig

Dig through the pile of laundry clothes

Fling the clean shirts from the drawer


White rock

Rock white

White crystals are lost somewhere

Rocks hidden in cracks, and

Cracks become invisible rocks


Stand sad

Sad stand

We stand confused

Our sad eyes observe

The destruction of our dad


Search and move

Move and search

Do you need help with your search?

If we search with you we will find.

Move! Move out of the way!

I need to move and find my own way.
