SORROW

 

 

He placed the Daisy on the grave,

its yellow petals

gave light to the name engraved.

It’s strange what light brings,

the colors vibrate like strings,

blown this way and that, on the wind.

 

He placed the Daisy on the grave,

and worlds collided in a neutron mist

that hung like fog,

hiding the shadow of Death.

 

A Yellow Daisy on the grave

illuminate her name,

while creating shadows that

hide her forever smile within.

you should listen to Sun House singing "Dead Letter Blues", even if you don't listen to blues. He ciphers through an octillion analogy to death and life, love and loss, how modern cultures possess Sorrow and the many resulting consonances of it. BECAUSE, poems are myxomycetous as they live fruitfully on the dead and the dying. I'm dialing down my rhetoric; rumor has it that i'm getting soft. But I started out this year by getting Covid which required no effort on my behalf to attain. lol I mention this because poetry had to be reintroduced to my 'order and methods' like some pelucid passages of light that shows itself like the translucence of a dark room. Poems like this is part of my healing process. Thanks again/ dana.

Dana, this is an amazing review. Saying thanks, doesn't seem to be sufficient.

Sorry.. read more
This reminds of someone I lost so many years ago....she was that daisy...and she died so young.
But her smile remains in my memory, so vivid.
