The Attempt To Capture....... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is a heart
that wants to close
a door

but i open it just
the same
for some verification

it was not all happiness
there is still pain

a pain that you cannot
name or cannot speak about

no one this time wants to
look at each other

as one cleans the house as
one begins to write

trying to capture what moment
was that

asking will it be a memory
or will it be another subject

to talk about in Freud's sofa
or just another kind of Bernstein...
