Undone

Rob Krabbe’s poem Sometimes the rain appeared here in June 2011. Rob originally submitted this with an image and it worked really well! But we decided to publish it by itself and let the readers imagine their own images. The hope, of course, is that this will inspire more writing or more art work or more both … 


Undone
By Rob Krabbe





Dense clouds

settling down

surround me;



this



echoing ghost

like winter’s 

rolling sea.



Hug my morning

with your

ambivalence.



Lay down naked on

my spirit, like a lover

lost to fading memory

and the worship

within her pale

blue eyes.



Oh my sweet,

brother sun,

loyally seek me,

lost within this

comfort of lies.



Burn this foggy

morning head away

into an afternoon well done.



What I don’t know

would fill the landscape

as a kindling fire.



and … 



All

I need to fear

in this life … 

is what I know,

sometimes my

heart’s desire,



and all

I leave undone.
