386.
when I arrived in that harsh time
I told you
Don’t tell me these things,
I don’t want to know them.
12/7/21
389.
It is more than enough.
this garden, this house
the dim shape of the fallen tree
The answer to every question I ask
12/7/21
390.
The moon drifted
behind old buildings
the dark figures watched as it passed
12/7/21



I love all of these, but especially 390. (K)
Thank you. I feel a sense of timelessness in it. I like that.
#389 speaks to me…
Thank you. !
There is a through-line of shadowy things in each of these poems, whether it is things going unspoken or figures silhouetted by moonlight.
Yes. It is interesting to me when I do Snippets how they tend to group themselves by theme. I am not sure how that happens but I do see it over and over.
Loved them all equally.
Thank you. !
Wonderful snippets!
Thank you!
