The Project

audio version: https://youtu.be/UKR00eGJ-50

I'm haunting the names of streets

intersecting where we stood

unburnt by the summer.

I'm trying to hold those days together 

using tape and crooked nails.

Shapeless shadows of memories

roadblock feelings and sensibility

closed for repair,

thankless labor to bring back the way

life feels when excited to live it

time to remove the fences

before the road paves over me

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

This offering uses imagery well to depict the state of one seemingly dealing with some sort of loss. There is a sense of woundedness, but I don't perceive any despair. The speaker realizes it will take some work, but appears to be up to the challenge.

[NoPoetry]
