little by little I learn
to forget you

Beautiful poem!
Beautiful, soulful, speaks to my heart.
Wonderful!
Very appealing!
Lovely ku, Sylvia :-)
It is hard work to un-commit yourself. You have to prepare the way for a re-commitment. It’s the only way to authenticate your love.
Feeling through image. Beautifully done.

The heart has its fast beast, and its slow underlying rhythms. It won't be hurried. Snow a deceptive blanket, leaving painful things covered?
Lovely!
I love the passage of time here.

the blue before a night
of falling snow
N.B. Twelve cows are called a flink
