sound far away
train strain
it's getting quieter
there is a heart
very beautifully framed
a pair of swans
can you hear me
i am brokenhearted...
this lake evokes memories
love love and love
in the worm hole
we scrape the walls
for remnants
yesteryear floods back in
of you with a clay pipe
Lovely poem. For me this sings of longevity. From basho’s “follow the pine“ to the turning from inside to out of Nick Virgilio’s “Lily out of the water” poem.
