Lunar Politics

[Tanner]

From the curled
Black contraption he
Heard her say "I haven't
Been avoiding you" as
That voice disappeared
Down his ear hole
He stood deaf and
Almost blind while
Outside silence echoed
Past the moon also
Vacant like his telephone

[amenOra]

I enjoyed the effect the assonance made with the ending, like O-o-o... dial-tone!

[Tanner]

AmenOra, Today I suddenly remembered a late night phone call from many many years ago to a "hoped to be" girlfriend, which did not pan out, so to speak.

[amenOra]

Poetry is the ability to fill out each moment with a past present future gauge. But usually we miss one of the three or a combination. What am I saying?
Well, it made for good poetry!

Nice one Tanner.

[Sister Greed]

Excellent, so much in so few powerfully constructed words. Still love your writing, Tanner!
