Two-for-Two Tuesdays

Poetics Aside Two-for-two Tuesdays:

1. Write a gathering poem.
2. Write a letting go poem.

When we danced

The summer night

Gathered us close

And Time was that noose

For the faint of heart

And those bent on letting go…

But summer is ever the harbinger

Of Autumn’s relinquishment

And the forward march of moments

Drawing us to its end...

J~

The far-away nearness

of you

urges me forward

while the past

falls away

into expanding

nothingness

How can nothing

Throb with such

echoes

and sighs

and whispers

of

‘this is not

good-bye’?
