In The Wake Of Your Absence Poem by William Jackson

In The Wake Of Your Absence

Rating: 5.0


Michaela,
In the wake
of your absence,
we shall press on,
each with one hand
tied securely
behind our backs.

Muddling through
without you,
into uncharted territory,
with the unwilling,
kicking and screaming
much of the way,
quite simply,
(in spite of
our best efforts)
will not be
the same.

There are tears in this poem that are never cried aloud. This makes these spare, yet eloquent lines, all the more effective. Excellent write. Warmest regards,
