Yesterpeople

stair board creek the house long empty . . . echoes stale shuffling shadows to the sound of overlays drained the house bled its final drops of her merged, she with watchers faces trapped in windows held in mist, a haunting flows of happenings in the cold in the dark . . . ghosts of yesterpeople

you wrote such an outstanding poem, Clive, filled with mystery conveyed with some outstanding images. I loved 'faces trapped in the windows held in a mist.' There's a certainly metaphorical reference here that I really like. The title 'yesterpeople' was perfect. Well done, Clive. enjoy your day, Sara

“Faces trapped in windows” what a strong line is that! Conveys so much. I love the depth of this poem and how descriptive it is along with that last line which stands out for me. Truly! You have a unique way with weaving thoughts. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always
