Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

Someday You'll Get Used to It

      the grueling walk
      home
      after another
      loss
      lasts longer
      stings more
      swells
      with tears
      when
      you are
      a boy

Mike Bayles October 5, 2025 at 12:21 PM Well-said. Pain lives within us but diminishes with time. Gershon Wolf October 5, 2025 at 6:42 PM Yes. We manage to get over that one 'we shoulda won back in 1966.'
