Childlike, I put my hand before my face.
The moment is too gold, it hurts my eyes.
The gesture of your shadow takes my breath.
I walk as if I moved through heavy cloth.
Geese honk dissonance over old tin roofs.
Sunset is borne away on beating wings.
The sound of my name on your mouth is harsh.
Hands chafe the smoking hour into a flame.

Beautiful The golden dazzle of this moment, Why does – carry away the gold of this evening on his wings? Dissonance.
childlike, i read your poem with happiness but the strong undercurrents made me read it twice!
lovely poem ornamented by heavy armour of imagery......wonderful
Earlier comments have said it all. YOU, and not just your poetry, are quite simply a work of art. t x
You say so much in so few words. The ability to do that is a rare thing, I often ramble on when I should just stop, but you have mastered the art so perfectly. I love the geese sounding their dissonance. They are a mighty sight flying off to warmer climes. Wonderful poetry, always here, Sandra. HG: -) xx
You share the pain of love with eloquence and artistry in this fine poem. Ironic that a poem titled dissonance should resonate with such harmony. Beautiful as ever, Sandra. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
the composition- rich in raw emotions, evoked by images that eloquently express the pain. Mamta
An artful selection of rough images to reinforce the pain of an unfortunate encounter.
