An Epistolary Poem Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

An Epistolary Poem:

Another year has passed,
raindrops covering bare branches and stems

after the wind circles the leaves of Momentum
in momentum, a few months ago so happy

Autumn is over, then heavy rain showers
the world is too noisy these days
no icicles formed
just rain storms and floods

while driving to the sick in Terborg
speaking about love and the happy Momentums
the Singer museum in Laren,
the Modern museum in Amsterdam
and Present Art in Kóln

I regard it my duty
to be visitor to the sick
I can move, they remain in bed
outside it's mostly heavy wet

and new strums that we bring into the hours
in the lowlands, another heavy rainstorm,

Another year has passed
raindrops covering bare branches and stems
no skating outside these months

the day passed and God is with us
I always feel God's presence
