Howard Kerr Poet Pantoum

Above This World

A tsunami of emotion engulfs my fragile soul
as I stare transfixed at fly-by silver moons
we once found solace in when swopping kisses
at midnight curfew’s flimsy threadbare sanction

As I stare transfixed at fly-by silver moons
our golden flashbacks flood with spectral verve
at midnight curfew’s flimsy threadbare sanction
corralling peep day hearth lights in first flush

Our golden flashbacks flood with spectral verve
despite your early death from all those stresses
corralling peep day heart lights in first flush
whose magic lantern oneness floats above this world.
