After Mary Oliver
have you noticed how certain poems linger
in the echoes of yesterday
how certain triggers replay
a certain phrase
how hanging onto words
engulfs an empty room
how walking through fields
begets velvet moonlit nights listening to you
how spinning a record after dropping a needle
births a mountain of longing and sorrow
have you ever noticed
that no matter how many times
you block out the sights and sounds,
they sprout their way back to your tomorrows
One response to “Have You Noticed”
“Linger in the echoes of yesterday” is really nice!!
