Tidings


morning afternoon evening 
hearing mourning bells again— 

no matter 

how many times still 
being tided over 

takes time getting used to again.

  1. That third line stands out plain and stark and fierce. A year with a few of such such tides so this one hits home.

  2. The iteration of the tolling bell, a mourning hymn itself, beautifully and delicately evoked by the repeating closing rhyme.

  3. Thanks, friends; sadly, so prophetic in the light of my latest post of February 2.
