Squeezed Between Our Now and Thens
MendedFences27 said:
The \"here and now\" are massively different from the \" there and then \" and that\'s because they are separated by lightyears of experiences. We cannot measure time as linear when one is dealing with multitudes of happenings. As life slows down, we look back and wonder how we survived the pace.
A raw question that asks if all is remembered equally by both, which it is almost impossible to be.
Your poem shows us how life\'s events are not always recalled similarly by the participants. A wonderful poem. - Phil A.

Memories serve as little bits of chocolate that we take out and much on when we are hungry. Superb work.

A pleasant memory, of a brief encounter brought on by attraction and \"a cigarette.\" Sometimes, \"a smile\" is all it takes. I really liked this one. It seemed very real to me. - Phil A.

Sun-warmed beer is always a telltale sign that life is being lived and that things are happening.

Wonderful imagery but I suspect that the sun warmed beer was served ice cold before the sun got to it. Wonderful imagery and taste in this very clever, maybe someone you knew in another life, sharing or giving your last of anything is a gesture of kindness. 🩷

Mirror, bread, diamond, gifts, are all the generous gifts of this poem. Still, humans splurge on self hatred. This poem is very buttoned up despite its easy flow…

Seems like one is slowly withdrawing into darkness and the other is trying to bring them back. A threatened relationship at the least. It is always best not let things fester, but shine light on them. Then there can be peace.
A powerful poem of an endangered relationship. \" Starving it of all light\" is a very clever phrasing. Great poem. - Phil A.

I really love the idea of \"starving your shadow of light.\" It\'s a perspective and wording I have never before heard. Beautiful words as always.

True confessions, eh? I love your literary demons; a legacy of sauciness, sensuousness, naughtiness, but also of compassion, empathy, love and deep understanding. It\'s the whole package that is wonderful you! Oh, and this is a very good write!
