Notes About The Poem

Apart My World

I sleep, abrupt awakened, 
by stroke of fingered word. 
A wide and lingering voice 
plaintively whispering 
so much view my eyes cannot digest, 
so much ache, my soul cannot find rest.
You are that sound of distancing voice 
never nearer now to me. 
A pane upon my window beckoning 
come see! come see!
I cannot wake to find a different view 
or quit your echo in the things I do.
Memories of you are nuclear 
atoms which, when split, 
destroy my world.
