I didn't even know I had a poems draft folder.
But there it was.
And here is the poem - there are others - but I want to share this one that I want to share.
I have no idea what it means.
But do poems ever really mean anything?
Pretty much done: is what you may be
Pretty much done: when all you seem to see
Is the book, the bottle, the bed and the key
Pretty much done: the key to the door, or maybe infinity
Pretty much done: whatever it may be
But, pretty much done can’t replace
The feeling of a face
As it brushes yours
Pretty much done: the other shores
Pretty much done: the day you first saw the center of the earth sea
Pretty much done: that vision seemed, then, to be infinity
Infinity rhymes nicely with key and be and see so let it be
I guess that is ok; we shall see
Pretty much done: why did you cry that day when you saw the sea?
You cried that day on the vantage of the sea because it was you that day
And there was me.
Pretty much done.
Is what a poet would say
About this brief metric essay
Pretty much done.
