[Poetry] A Marge Piercy Day

[dillen_dagen]

ALL CLEAR

Loss is also clear­ance.

Emptiness is also recep­tiv­ity.

No, I can­not pre­tend:

the cells of my body lack you

and keen their spe­cific hunger.

Yet, a light slants over this bleak land­scape

from the low yel­low sun,

a burn­ing kite caught in the branches.

There is a light­ness in me, the absence

of the weight of your judg­ment

Lovely words. Thank you for sharing them.

I'd like to read more poetry than I do, but have no inclination to become "educated" about poetry. The little I learned in high school has stood me well.
