Rain at the Coast by Steve Slimm

Love on the Rocks

Inward.
The floods of salty stress
whirlpool themselves
into lonliness,

which submerges me.


Outward.
The pantomime carries on
role-modeling you
as a paragon,

which amuses me.

Two sides, but both are melancholic, for different reasons. To say so much, with so few words; as you know, is a talent...

Nobody can write about our inner worlds with quite the finesse that Fay does.

Two sides of the coin. Sad and happy rolled into one super poem.

What a trip you took me on! The few words saying so much. The feeling and emotion captured is amazing.
