Last Glance

This sijo was written for Poefusion’s Tuesday Title prompt, “Somewhere between nowhere and goodbye”…which interestingly enough, was taken from a link off of this blog! Enjoy.

-Nicole

somewhere between nowhere and goodbye, their love lies in stasis,
inhabiting a transparent tunnel of final glances -
a train whistle seals the ends and this moment into memory

  2. I thought you might like that I took inspiration from a link here at your blog. Your sijo is great. I’ve been in a few of these kinds of relationships myself. Have a nice night.

  3. I like the images you wrote about– stasis, transparent tunnel. Very thought-provoking.

  7. Thank you, everybody! I’ve said plenty of goodbyes in my own life – some like this and some laced with hatred and vitriol. This, I hope, was one of the more bittersweet ones.
