Poetica-Collab II: In the Silt
Jun 02, 2001

Assignment: Write a poem about hope in the form of a Sonnet.

in the silt
so pure and subtle we'd been swept away
beneath the surface blue and broken
what began this plummet none can say
in that tempest gray our spirit woken
unexpected the blindness rends
that which was forgotten still
with remorse compassion bends
to shade our eyes against our will

no denial that we pretend
how rebuilt we are by your words
but a moment to complete this when
at last we're together merged
so we shall subside and extend
until at last we make amends
