Two poems

Vanishing, 6/24/10


She is always
Vanishing
Leaving nothing but a ghostly image
burnt across the retinas
of my imagination
She disappears
until she again returns
If only as a thought, a wish
a longing, a promise
For again,
she has vanished,
has gone,
and again,
I am without

Light from Another Room, 6/23/10

Seen through the crack in a door not fully closed
Creating shadows where it is absent
but no real illumination in its presence
A sliver, a wedge
There only to present a contrast
to the darkness
Nothing more
