Famous Short Joyce Sutphen Poems. Short poetry by famous poet Joyce Sutphen. A collection of the all-time best Joyce Sutphen short poems


by Joyce Sutphen
 This present tragedy will eventually
turn into myth, and in the mist
of that later telling the bell tolling
now will be a symbol, or, at least,
a sign of something long since lost.

This will be another one of those
loose changes, the rearrangement of
hearts, just parts of old lives
patched together, gathered into
a dim constellation, small consolation.

Look, we will say, you can almost see
the outline there: her fingertips
touching his, the faint fusion
of two bodies breaking into light.
