Between Then and Now




Between Then and Now

I wish there were
a border between
then and now.
A guard would
stop me and ask
for my passport.
"Where are you going?"
"Back then."
He would look at
all the stamps.
"You've been there often."
 I would nod.
"Not today,"
he would say as
he held out my ID.
I would stare at him
as I took it back,
lower my eyes, and
then, turn away.

Unspoken


Unspoken

The words that remain unspoken
are powerful, not just token.
They play in the mind.
You can feel them grind,
left behind,
unbroken.

This poem is written in a Welsh form called a Clogyrnach.
