She Remembers Him Poem by Glenn Bagshaw

--------------------
Drifting, shifting,
silting snowflakes,
moths upon the window sill
and his brief days of these war years
insect flutter, fallen, flutter,
draped upon his final ground.

Yearning, turning
trailing, failing,
the war's now globed,
an old porch light.
Then touch of striving,
(a trail that whispers!)
skims her face
one moth-strewn night.





Drifting, drifting,
dancing snowflakes,
moths upon the window sill
and his brief days of these war years
insect flutter, fallen, flutter,
draped upon his final ground.

Yearning, turning
trailing, failing,
the war's now globed,
an old porch light.
Then touch of striving,
(a trail that whispers!)
whisks her face
one moth-strewn night.
