WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Recently, the ghosts ...


Recently, the ghosts

of late beloveds 

are coming close:

the almost glimpses,

the fleeting touches.

I wonder why?

I hope not

that my time

is approaching nearer.

I don’t want 

to leave yet,

please dear God!

Books to write.

Books to read.

Things to accomplish.

(But how many,

saying the same,

stop mid-sentence?)
