small stone 18 – wrong

Posted on January 29, 2012 by marey mercy

wrong

when i imagine you
leaving this world
i envision the axis of the earth
tilting off-kilter
just a bit, the seasons
altering to fit
into the soundless void
you leave behind

(for james cox)

For:

one single impression
a river of stones

Reminds me of Auden’s “Stop All the Clocks”, with the idea that the world will mourn at a passing along with the writer. Beautifully executed.
