Late Quartet

A LATE QUARTET Sitting Looking out Nothing comes Nothing goes Twiggy windows A weeping pine Earth Moon Mahler comes to mind Sentimental lion Spastic in sleep A fractured three-quarter time Dancing heavy feet White hands Stroking Each vein Blue-racing Half-in Half-out A pot holder Dangles in space Little items Like soldiers Blend Crush Don Quixotic Rushing at Nowhere So slowly Time was Was time The two Come together Sitting Looking out Nothing comes Nothing goes

I like this poem lots Daver. It hits home somehow and is rather of a contemplative sort.

how interesting this line: rushing at nowhere so slowly! Strange one but an enjoyable read. Nice seeing you tonight,Daver.

Hey Daver! Oh, I enjoyed this! "Twiggy windows, weeping pine", certainly give in air of boredom.:( I'm sure this won't last. Spring seems to have arrived dragging its feet, but soon it will pick up and start moving proudly, like a Tennisee Walking horse. The plants and flowers will unfurl to watch.:) Many images happening here to powder the senses. Wishing you and yours the best!!! Love, Mikki
