Sadness Has Me…

Sadness has me like a gavotte—

Music slowing

Not without intention

Which is God

In blood.

I understand.

Maybe

I’ve another

Few years

With this

Living face.

This morning

My neighbor

Lonely

Returned books

He’d borrowed

Deep last winter.

One thought on “Sadness Has Me…”

I’m especially struck — moved –by the lines at the end. The lonely neighbor returning books — so simple yet incredibly evocative and powerful.
