EASTER MONDAY
21/4/2014
BY THE BY
Never idealizing,
Feelings,
Or basic instincts,
Always preferring,
To remain somehow confused,
I am after you,
Clarity of my day.
Forgiveness, understanding,
Such small matters,
Please, let's not make a fuss,
About them,
In time,
They get easier,
More affordable,
I would say.
Emotional security,
Not such a small matter,
Affords us, all,
With some clarity of thought,
If we were honest about it,
In the first place.
Let's wish each other,
Happy week end,
And…
Happy Easter,
By the by.

Tsothaalmost 10 years agoIt's impossible for me to read something like this and not wonder at the circumstances. What I'm getting from your poem is a double feeling, and I wonder if I'm reading it right. On one hand, the narrator is seeking the "clarity" of his day. On the other, he prefers to remain confused, to not make a fuss about forgiveness and understanding, to let it be. Emotional security would be nice, if it was possible to have. But it's implied that it's not possible, at least, right now.
I read it like it's a request to let things be, for time, and the "happy weekend... and easter, by the by" prolongs this time.
Cleardaynowalmost 10 years agoI think this is the best poem I have seen from you. It deserves its favouriting.
It has a curious but very nice rhythm and a lovely use and combination of words.
