Edges
The Morgue File
as day passes
folding in on itself
i find the corners of you
left behind
as you passed into night
and fold myself into them
bit by bit
to feel your edges once more.

ReplyDeleteAll is well Vandana. Thank you! It is a busy time of year for me--and just starting to wind down into summer--Thank you for reading this one!
DeleteThis is stunning, Audrey. I love that folding imagery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Victoria! I love that piece of imagery as well--
DeleteThe folding..works so well here.. the edges even more so. really very layered Audrey
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteFeeling the edges after a passing is simultaneously desperation and satisfaction. I felt that here.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you are right Kim! Thank you
DeleteBeautifully done, How it is we find the corners the edges of others...
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Hi Anna--the edges are so interesting I think--thank you
DeleteAudrey,
ReplyDeleteThis is so sensitive with emotions which are resting, close to the edges. It can be a precarious placement, when one is there and alone..Striving to touch or feel a familiar connecting point...Hope is at times, distant...Very powerful..

Ah, nicely done. It's like another version of one I wrote a long time ago:
ReplyDeleteA Valentine
Intimate greetings
on unfolding hearts
Like two sides of a card
come together
Held at the binding
Day’s boundaries undone
Sweet sentiments sealed
by love’s high occasion
This is incredible.
ReplyDeleteI like th eintimate feel of this warm poem, Audrey!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I do like to think of that day folding in on itself... And yes, the edges -- one must feel them too.
ReplyDeleteFew words and rife with layers and meaning...that folding...intimate and longing and lovely. hayes Spencer is kanzensakura.

Oh this is deeply moving--I too like the "folding" mentioned earlier.
ReplyDeletean intensely emotional piece...beautiful..
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteA very tender piece. I was touched.
ReplyDeleteStunningly eloquent. Such economy of words and such abundance of image.
ReplyDeleteThere is a beautiful intimacy in this. An it felt more like trying to hold onto a dream or a fantasy than it did an actual person. I have wanted to stay there though.
ReplyDeleteI admire the ending - the folding & feeling the edges brought it home for me ~ Have a good week ~
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see something new from you. The perfect way to begin my day. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The sense of longing and rumination is felt deeply.

ReplyDeleteOh, this has a sensitivity to it...an intimate feeling. Really beautiful, Audrey.

ReplyDeleteAh.. the wilted flowers of life gone by..
ReplyDeleteand 15 minutes left of the first anniversary
of my father's death.. and he already teaches
me about death as that's how it goes.. so i
dance when he dies and I dance again.. alive..:)
Moving and lovely, like origami of the heart X
ReplyDeleteTo find the corners and to fold yourself back into them, once again, just to find someone's edges again.....so very romantic and what a gorgeous way to describe that romantic yearning.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, one to be read again and again.
