A Relief Really
I’m ok that you didn’t remember
You were preoccupied
That I reminded you
Twenty-two years had passed
The days into nights into
more days
of passing through morning meals
Struggles to remember
what is necessary to discuss
in the same room.
It’s where we’ve landed
Right now, we’re both planted
rain or sun
dew soaked grass
Silent Sundays
The only acknowledgment
to it being odd is
this poem.
It’s ok that we’re
fine with it.
A relief really.

The form and cadence of this poem is well done. Actually, the entire poem is fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you for reading my words.
I enjoy how there is a reveal of an open secret in this piece. It is simply drawn, the relief shaded with a tinge of the oddness here.
Thank you for reading it. It seems to me that so much more is revealed to us from what is not explained, said, seen, or heard. I am glad you enjoyed it.
