Postlude

Something I wrote... an exercise in perspective. Alternate title is "Pivot"... not sure which I prefer.

Postlude

Ego spins the tale and weeps and frets
Ego grieves, and hides her vain regrets
Til ego drowns alone in shining surf...
To love him was the gift she gave herself.

Re: Postlude

With all personal poems you need to stand in the shoes of the person who wrote it at the time they wrote to make sense of it ....
I get the drift and probally have stood near there once .....

My EGO fell on my foot way back when... I was in plaster for months afterwards
