[bodytext] => I saw a man in Nome
tell his daughter not to cry,
Through frosted glass I
reached for her, though
I could not ask her why
My fingers touched the window pane,
and within I felt the widow’s pain,
But no trace of this touch it kept,
No prints or smudges:
The widow wept.
From above the world,
Within the sky
I watched in Nome a widow cry,
And within herself,
With crystal eyes,
I watched in Nome a widow die.
Along the chilling ridge I hear
Tomorrow coming ever near,
And in its coming
yes, I fear
I must depart
I must disappear
December mornings seldom yield
their misery,
This, I know
But I have seen hell, my friends
And hell is cold

I felt as if I were eavesdropping on someone's heart. I didn't want to breathe because they might hear me. This is very haunting, but beautiful.

this is a great write, right down to the direct statement of the last two lines, rounded everything off nicely.

One of my favourites of yours, and no mistake. Its cadence is magickal - I'm still stuck in putridsville, and you're away . . . away to Nome.
I would say that you're now my favourite poet here, for various reasons, one of which is that you write with equal grace, vision and cadence - all of which are pleasurable to my eye and mind.
Stars . . ? Not enough, even in the sky for this one. |

This poem attaches itself to the reader's soul in the most amazing way. "The widow wept" - is incredibly impactful and heartreaching standing alone as you have it here. Very, very poignant, absolutely divine.
I'm tempted to toss responsibility aside and spend as long as it would take - reading everything you've posted. Ah, but that I could.
Thank you for this.... it is truly gift you've given us. |
