a poem by Holly (making need)
Here’s a poem I wrote and had published a few years ago: (I can’t seem to get it to display correctly — will fuss with it another day (HTML)) but have printed it in simpler text, too, below:
Making Need
Marriage meanderings
Years of relative comfort
Years of take and give
Endless evenings
Afterglows waning
Raw aching
Needing time to heal
Intermittent efforts to rebuild
Nurturing eventual withdrawal
Gently dreaming…
