POETRY IS EXIGENT.


Let’s study.
A bare rumination
in how shadows drown out a space
and where the light claims its domain.

A mood that is a bit aimless
and quiet. Contemplative
and pensive.

What could be the point?
perhaps not declarative,
but something else, something like
seeing and passing.

The absence,
echoes the wandering,
in the spaces that are left.
