DNA

A piece of you came enclosed in your letter.
Not your heart but still a part of you,
concealed as usual,
this time between the envelope and stamp—
trapped forever as the rest of you departs,
taking all of you except
for that remainder—one last kiss of tongue
before you sealed the stamp upon the envelope.

For NaPoWriMo 2024, Day 15

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    Wonderful how you made DNA romantic and sad, Judy, especially in the lines:

    ‘trapped forever as the rest of you departs,
    taking all of you forever except
    for that remainder—one last kiss of tongue’.

      Oops..I went back to look at the poem as I always do as I tend to forget my poems as soon as I write them…and I discovered that I hadn’t saved the last version of my poem.. So thanks for your part in my discovering that.. I had two “forevers” in the poem and have since erased one…Judy
