Teruel - For François Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Teruel - For François



The heart’s new day nudges
up over the hill
and tentatively smudges
the landscape with its light.

Daylight was yesterday
so harsh and clear.

The empty streets slowly fill
with promenades of sights
and sounds

images so tenuously familiar
that I cannot bear
to see them shuffle like old men
into absences that are so near.
