monday poem #103: Francine Sterle, "Abandoned Road" (from A Single Gesture)

[heresluck]

I love having friends who loan me amazing poetry I would never have known about otherwise.

I think I like Francine Sterle a lot. I had a really difficult time deciding which poem to post. I settled on this one - which is the last of the six parts of "A Single Gesture" - because I have been thinking about place again lately.

wow, and you are so right! there are so many lovely moments in that, and I know that place. Thank you so much for posting this -- between you and others who post poetry, I'm reading more of it than I have in years, and thinking about reaching for more, which I'm out of the habit of doing.

That is so beautiful. I love the end, it makes the images that much more powerful.
