Notes About The Poem

OPEN VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols relies upon 'the one breath limitation' this intuitive cadence pemits the 'reader' (reciter) to respond in an interpretative - interplay unique to the ' happening moment'

Absence

lyrical times
         forgotten
absences now
      remembered
days pass
of
   times past

days
glide by
      so slow
 this life in the
         shadows

a bleak future
     lies ahead
in
an empty 
   wasteland
of cold years
