my mind goes numb
at the look of your shadow,
gauze hanging there
filtering moonlight
reflected off bright clouds
and I wonder
how far you have come,
how long you have waited
in your bleak disguise
behind this shadow
how many hints you have thrown,
how many desperate plays
you have made
in your tireless willingness
and my mind being numb
Poems from in between

I can see this like a photo, the black and white and shadow. What perfect mood-setting word choices. My favorite:
in your bleak disguise
behind this shadow
You know how much I love this series. Soon it will be a chapbook full. 🙂

It’s clear and beautifully evocative at once, graceful and grateful. I love the simplicity and brevity. Well done. May I post it next week as an example. You would have to send permission and a bio to me at thepoetbyday@gmail.com
Thank you!

Thank you so much! Yes, you may post. I had once pulled together a page with many of these poems together. Perhaps that would feel more organized and intentional for next week. Will figure that out. Let me know your preference. Will send bio separately. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
