After so many years
it grays me to see
how often we enter into
an agreement of unkindness,
each day a choice of persuasion,
where shadows of unmet desires
play against the walls
of our routines
sung by the low hum
of tuneless notes.
~
no apologies
aching hearts
~
we are both waiting
to be
apart

Just wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying reading through your blog. Love the pared-back simplicity of the language (“it grays me to see” ) and the resonance of its music. Have been trying to do something similar with prose — and know it’s much harder than it seems! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you Aileen….as I age I’m finding my life is simplifying rapidly in things and such, carried for a long time. With this need to travel lightly, it is leaving words as spare but trustworthy companions.
I’m new to WordPress but welcome! I look forward to more engagement :~)

Thank you for this kindness. It’s true. Seeing this experience encapsulated in so few words nearly upended me but there is a stronger desire to trust the heart knows when to till the soil.

You’re very strong, so courageous, and you weave yourself into your poems so we too can learn. Thank you.
