The void
Zeroes in
Like footwork
In the rain.

The moon
Stirs
My arms
To applause
Though I don’t
Know where
I’m going.

You ask of me the words
Which you demand be left unsaid.

Fair enough.

Brilliant work. I especially like “The void / Zeroes in / Like footwork / In the rain.”

love the enigma of this one esp ‘you ask of me the words/ which you demand be left unsaid’ ; that leaves you in a bind —

Thanks John! I think so too. That bind might be the enigma?

“You ask of me the words
Which you demand be left unsaid.” – Love this. Unsaid but written maybe? 🙂

Thanks Sunra. I didn’t think of that line that way. But that’s interesting. I was heading the direction of something just can’t be said, though we try.

Such a mystery this one, as many of your poems are, leaves me as a reader in a perfect place – wondering and also feeling courageous, that “waiting for the void,” such a scary thought, but so true and then the follow up to the void, that “Though I don’t Know where I’m going,” also scary, but so very real. Great work.

Thanks. I guess I was shooting from the hip here, and I don’t have an exact explanation myself. But I really like how you summed it up, wondering and feeling courageous. And maybe a little scary. I’m glad you liked it.

I guess it’s good to feel a little scared though sometimes I stay in bed because that fear takes over and getting up and living my life feels daunting, but then at some point, i gotta get ready for work and it’s amazing how just walking around and doing the dishes or something eliminates the fear or some of it anyway.

I agree. Taking a walk for me really does the trick. Seems to literally and metaphorically get my feet on the ground. This may sound crazy, but I love doing the dishes, just put some tunes on and go.

Me too. The dishes. I like doing them first thing in the morning. Helps me wake up.

Each line is a revelation and yet also a question. John is right about enigma. Sensational.
