memories of ascending a shattered staircase
wanting and hoping and wondering
remembering how, in the clouds and through the fog, he first saw her face
would it ever be the same, after all the wandering?
(a poem about fog in the form of an elegy with a metaphorical angle for day four of Writing 201)
(and for lucile’s the clinic – photo rehab)

wonderful photo, very eerie in ways and a haunting but thoughtful piece. I still don’t quite understand the format of an elegy but will take your inspiration x

Thank you Justine, not that anyone reading my post would be convinced I understand the form of an elegy either, but the course seems to be a good place to experiment…

Umm….I don’t know abt others but yr selected font for that poem was not showing the slash that is part of alphabets t and f so it appeared as l and inverted j, if u understand wot I mean. In any case, the poem was the whole point so…. its all fine! 😉

What a beautiful convergence of staircases! Both the ones in the photo and the one described in words and formatting in the poem. Haunting, as has been said.
