Evening Memory (Tanka) Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Evening Memory (Tanka)

Rating: 5.0


Evening softly falls
Blurring the lines of present
I see your pale face
Quite clearly in the darkness
The window to past is open.

This poem is so quiet I felt like I was holding my breath. The past is slowly opening up: the pale face has to clear up, get stronger and sharper, and then the past will be present in the present. And perhaps you and the past person can finally talk things through. But the mood is fragile, you don't want to dispel it.
