More Old Work Again

I have no idea what inspired this, but I was in school at the time and likely had just broken up with a girl that moved to Alaska in a pretty abrupt way.  What a weird life I have led.  I know I had submitted this as a piece to work on in the Northwoods Writer's Conference in the early 2000s and someone wrote on it that they loved the title and the precision use of words, saying it reminded them of Robert Creeley?




Not Even Zero

Thoughts dropped
like leaves from trees
subjects 
switched

seasons

now strength is saved
for daylight;
years in a bank.

The dilemma is distance,
Familiarity.
We know
but we don't talk anymore
