As Close As(For Jan) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

As Close As(For Jan)

Rating: 5.0


Just a line
with nothing on

except
a couple of pegs

Holding up
(as it were)

the world
before me

its skyline
its horizon

as if one could
un-peg it

take this particular view down
& replace it with another

or an empty space
...or...or...

Instead it just rained &...rained.

And I turning my back on
this particular world view

turning to you
held you

close as
close as

Space
clutches a star.
