Two Poems: Francine Marie Tolf Thursday, October 19, 2006 PASCAL
"Within each of us there is a God shaped emptiness" Today I saw a blue heron ascend from pond water with slow, soundless wings. It seemed that pine trees, clouds of white air held their breath as two drowsy arcs rose and sank through pieces of mist. I thought: how easy to believe in holiness, to ache suddenly from the loss it carves. *** PRAISE OF DARKNESS We touch one another with defter fingers at night. Rain sounds different, its steady falling a remembered wisdom. What if the dark waters waiting to carry us home slept inside every one of us? We were loved before stars existed. We are older than light. ~ Francine Marie Tolf lives in Minneapolis, MN. Her work has appeared in Rattle, Spoon River Poetry Review, Nimrod, New Letters and 5 AM. 0 Comments:
