before you,
there were ghosts at best

as lost and lifeless as i,
then

whispering phantom words

forever..
              always..


and the other,
the one i'd excised

until you, i'd only known the word

it's now i understand

nodding here too

it's like life becomes divided into a then that makes you shudder, just remembering, and the now of oxygen.

enjoyed this, you!

A light, light touch....and so effective. It makes me think of a poem a two dear friends of mine wrote together, about a word but without saying it. The word I don't mind saying here is, scintillating.

Reading this made my year, and since its a New Year now, i'd thought i'd re-read and let it make this year. and it did and it does!

Did that make any sense?

I think i may have epilated braincells, not just leg hair.

Raph

The word won't hurt you.  I think it would be good for you to go outside at midnight tonight and yell the word as loud as you can.  I'm touched by your feelings in this poem and happy for you.
