| we spent the first half |
| of the evening |
| in an affectionate distance |
| of observing the other |
| the unspoken questions |
| lingered rumpled, waiting |
| until they finally broke through the walls |
| we had tried to keep up |
| around us | silence fell |
| like a veil |
| and took us back |
| to where we started, |
| once |
| a wor(l)d ago |

playful, fun and filled with whimsy
like the playful tone combined with the wordplay about this week’s theme. Nicely done.
The distance between lovers… Nice.
Clever — the wor(l)d ago !
I like your take of the “long distance” theme and how when reading just the left side, it reads like its own poem.
evo/revo/ lutionary poem.
won-one-der full.
well, I try…
but you get the picture, I’m impressed by this unique and lovely poem.
Dorothee, I really am loving the way you’re pushing edges lately. This poem is no exception. Love it all, but especially ‘a wor(l)d ago’. Peace…
A world ago – also how time changes our perception of the world! Nicely done.
Nicely done. Right on the money.
