B”H
Once We
According to the harvester
akin to a salient
love
I am a message
a memory provider
Recognizable from that hanker to the east
This was not me
in futuring dreamstare
Virile inside your presence
secure with footfall
Now
I am
taciturnaround
and
screamscaredsacred
Once we laughed sillily
with an ability to
nevermind
the clatter of nature
upin us
Now
I lessen1 to my under
unsheathed
unself
Can’t be
Can’t be more

Dear Ronnie, I too find this poem a beautiful jewel. Exceptionally musical and visually evocative. When are you coming out with a book so we can flip through again and again?
