Signals Poem by Carolynn Shaw

Signals

Rating: 5.0


Spring breeze shakes lose
Ash seed. I spiral into
their dance of disconnection.

Sheets hung on a thin line,
billow in the wind. A white
cloth waves from the pine,

like a flag of surrender.
I think of you Judah – a
Pale presence behind me.

Your eyes like riverbeds,
filled with secrets – with
the coming and going of shadows.

Masterfully communicated apprehension. Something is going to happen, though maybe not just yet. It's suspended... Excellent write, Julia

Intriguingly mysterious (as well as imagey and sensuous as I said before) . Best wishes, Gina.
