Our Last Conversation

This is quietly beautiful.Enjoyed.

Thanks Tommie :)

Another deep read.

Good one J

Speak

Thanks for reading Speak. Much appreciated comment.

Love it!
Not really a conversation when one is speaking and the other is not listening...Xo

Thanks for your comment. Makes me think it would have been appropriate to put the word "conversation" in quote marks for the title.

And was the narrator saying it was the last time he recently spoke to her (such as me not paying attention to what my wife said during the previous time we talked), or something entirely different: from a guy who blew it and so the "conversation" was the very last one. I left that ambiguity unresolved.

Your last line I felt summed it up tastefully:

Words on butterfly wings fluttered away

Another great piece :)

Thank you for reading and the comment Heart.

It was strange how the lines previous to the last one are intentionally mundane, and I wanted that last line to elevate them and so transform them (and the poem itself) into more.
