Future Selves Must Wait, Apart

May 3, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is psychology at 41.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A psychological number poem about someone who is going through the pain of a divorce:

Future selves must wait, apart.

Old whispers I do not restrain

Roam in me wild. Only

Thus I come to live again.

Yet for now I cannot start.

One gets used to being lonely;

No one presses on the heart.

Emptiness makes room for pain.
