Dawn Newell Poem
The hurricanes have ceased,
orange and gold leaves fall,
and dusk approaches
while I brush my hair.
In my line of sight
books beckon,
music entices,
prayer tempts. But the one
to whom I belonged
has betrayed me
again
and I have vanquished him.
I am inconsolable
and weeping.
New England is prized
for it's autumnal glory.
How I wish to watch a kite
rise, alone on a hill of majestic hues
but the kite,
so fragile and tentative
would crash under the weight
of my grief.

Dawn Newell Poem
There is no fireplace
in your room
so I cannot come up;
still, the borders of your smile
eclipse my ambivalence,
warn of belatedness.
I journey home
and slip into sleep
fix my gaze into nightspace,
linger half-awake,
remember your whispers
when we were seventeen.
