Still... So Still(For Junie) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Still... So Still(For Junie)

Rating: ★5.0


Cobwebbed piano

the echo of my footstep
left upon the air

my breath
a ghost

before me
this cold cold day

I play
the only key

that doesn't
play

except in memory
now

a summer's day
my fingertips touch

your fingers
as they play

the note
held in the air

still

... so still
