DAY 13
in an old beachside flat
with awful wallpaper
i saw this performance
on a small black and white tv
half a century ago
it changed me
it changed my life
saw it again today
for the first time
since that evening
was completely transported
back to that room
back to that time
and wept
and wept

Ah, the sweet delights of time travel.
ReplyDeleteTouchingly sweet the memory. You wrote of it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was so moving, reminding me again how deeply a simple event can affect us -- and how our perspectives change as time passes. Thank you for posting this one.
