Author's Note
how he rucks from her bedsheets
the patterns to the corners
the almond morning diorama
in witch, lime
and hazel stitching,
from cortina between the lashes
to paper in each insole,
as she parades her pinafore.
she is quarter notes
as her feet lands.
it was not
what I knew to be true
that got me through
it was what
I was unwilling
to forget.

Dear N,
Your lovely poem had my mind visualizing a scene of getting through and past the end of a relationship. Your charming depiction of the one time love interest and then the turn of events and how the coping mechanism kicks in remembering what it was that didn’t work and why it had to end. (I know, I think I may suffer from vivid imagination-ism). Your closing stanza is stellar. I also like how you’ve positioned the letters of your title. Very clever. H🌷

Occasionally you read something where the moment is magnified and slowed, so that a footfall thunders. That's what I experienced here. Your language is gorgeously erudite and emotional presence is impacting.
