Two Short Poems by Mimi Khalvati
Circumstances are such that I will be away from the internet beginning February 4 for what is likely a period of a couple of weeks or possibly a bit more. Until then, two brief poems by a poet who is increasingly a favorite of mine, Mimi Khalvati.
With finest needles
finest beads
lawn and dew are making
a tapestry of water...
* * *
Curling her tail
and staring
not quite sure who
I was
how many kittens
I too had had, stalking
past as disdainfully
as blackness
smallness
warrants, this
is what she
left me with:
curvature
and silence.
