The Vow
When the lover
goes, the vow though
broken remains, that
trace of eternity love
brings down among us
stays, to give
dignity to the suffering
and to intensify it.
-Galway Kinnel (Contemporary American Poetry, p. 302)
The Spirit
When a person
dies, the spirit though
porous remains, that
hint of incessant humanity
moves around and within us
here, to perpetuate
happiness to those longing
and to remind them of what was lost.
-Darren Delfosse
