This is a repost of my July 2020 poem.

See my blog: Tonal Slippage - The Ins and Outs

I search for your face in the scudding cloud. The fresh offshore sea breeze tucks at my hair, The timber of your voice, in tearful shroud. I search for your face in the scudding cloud, too painful to watch couples walking proud— the memory of you at heartstrings tear. I search for your face in the scudding cloud. The fresh offshore sea breeze tucks at my hair.

Wow, Suzette. This is breathtaking, so haunting - it's like a dream somehow, "searching for your face" in a cloud.... <3
