Deborah Guenther Beachboard Poet Free verse

A Photo Not Thrown Away

inside
a frozen
minute
you wait

the door
ajar
as if
to capture
the faintest
echo of
footfall

the mirror
scrutinizing
that empty 
space
beside you
on the couch

my reflection
endlessly
snared
in mute
counterpoint

Reason A. Poteet March 1, 2018 at 7:14 PM I like what Line said, hauntingly implied scenario. Shown not told.

Line Gauthier March 1, 2018 at 2:44 PM What a beautiful haunting implied scenario. Delightfully hazy. Well done, Deborah.
