I loved the visual of this...and how you tied in the symbolism. Abstract, yet generally accessible. A nice melding ot the two---I liked very much!

Visualization so intense and flowing.
You need not close your eyes to see.
Memories and anticipation become as one.
Thank you Dear lady for an excellent read.

A very clever use of two themes intertwined!

Take care,

I'm not sure what to make of this helen. . . it seems that the two are meeting head on. . . almost like a crash course. . .

it's just full of total symbolism. . . that's what I like about it. . .

Good poem! Very enjoyable read!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Sweet as summer raspberries and full of energy in a soft, quiet manner. Symbolism
galore. Good read.
