The Key Is In The Dates Poem by Diana van den Berg

The Key Is In The Dates



It’s all in the dates...
String together them
in chronological order...
the dates on which my poems
were written and declared
in spilled blood
and bubbling joy
and wrenched tears
and savoured ecstasy,
and wham!
you have the autobiography
of my trembling heart and stalwart soul
and whispered thinking.
