(mostly) short poems on life and love

lost and found?

July 27, 2019 by Michael Guerin

what she forgot
is that all provincial towns
trade in secrets
which are more myth
than collective memory
and only release them slowly
(if at all) with a wink
and a nod.

what she bought
was a basketful of books
moth-eaten and yellowed
caked in layers
of fine gray dust
dredged up from a back shelf
(if at all) and clearly
forgotten.
