time is immaterial
I might as well be back there
it all slips away
collapses
the blazing morning sun
waking me to the excitement
of a childhood day
place is foregrounded
the materiality of it
it’s all present
lilac dripping from bushes
at that time
the cold feeling warm
well well Anna ... as it seems we are crossing common roads today ... since I wrote something about my feeling and reflexion on present tense ... and the materiality of your time becomes words exactly as it is for me!!
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, I like your poem very much...and I'm pleased that mine meant something to you.
