In
the half light
Lost world
see
the unbreakable
flight
and everyone
talking
while the light
harrowing
breaks
everything apart
the girl
suffers us
to lessen grief
while others
wait
slowly
to lend a hand
Matters of
import
overwhelm
in the half
light
of indecision
this man
hesitates
unknowing
decisive in his
unknowing
She has rested
against a desk
but nothing's
happened
to make her
tired
the sun has aged
in the west
the boy jumps
off the pier
serene patience
in the faces
of those who
watch
And I waited for
you
several times
stepped out of
myself
the rains
came
to wake me
turning a corner
saw you
stretched out in
the sun
like there were
no days
or nights
and the sea
bends
to the silver
sky
and the silence
rests against me
like a woman
who has lost
someone
just out of
reach
' and the silence
ReplyDeleterests against me' that is good can feel a gentle weight
ah yes, beautiful

ReplyDeleteI like I the last stanza where you connect the landscape to the human form.
