Severance

By Jewel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I absorb the broken memorabilia the ice has cracked, I await the snow time hangs heavily upon these hands I ponder my wall built from remaining debris. A journey to the last stroke of happiness more than a decade ago misty parties, laughter and my lollipop dress clinking glasses, maternal love and honeyed words such warm commemorations melting through my mind. Thereafter blackness forms, a gaping hole in perfection the pangs of a sudden dissolution the beginning of a rupture crumbling our cornerstone we conceived the sad remains prepared our kindred blood Do I cast an anchor to time ? return and grasp at what I now know those moments were so simply precious. Perhaps then I could gain insight on repair not be worn to a shadow and nodding at this fall No, I will make way for a bow - this night is now over.
