Compass Tears

Distance
is different
spurning
direction

The miles
a marriage
time
has divorced

Spaces
concurrent
flowing
together

As coming
and going
fade in
— remorse

(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)

I wrote this in 2016 about my daughter’s situation: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/joyful_jones_divorces_the_sea_819257

I agree, Kim. I couldn't find your poem through this link. My son just went through it too.

Very sad indeed! They say divorce is like a death. I’ve seen my brother and daughter go through it. Well written.
