This part struck me:

Walked with me in the wind

To the eyebrow of a hill.

And wordlessly

We talked.

Thanks, Dick!

Aw that's such a beautiful moment Rod. "The eyebrow of a hill" is such a banger of an image. :-)

“Do you suppose

I could build her up again

With only a mouth to start from?”

What a strong image that is…💛

Yeah that poem blows me away 🖤 I can't quite put my finger on it - but there's something in the second half that moves me deeply.

yeah me too. . . i don’t know. . .a poem like this is like an old faded photo of a place we’ve all been before—but this time we see it from a wider angle. . .noticing the light, the wind, the shared silence.

These are so delightful. I especially love the one titled "Poem" about food as a poem and the cucumber slices and the lily pad.
