troubled age

what to tell you

seek no more depth

just don't despair

your grief as is

so profound

our one song-sheet

momenteariness

retreat into your shell

and sea retreats with you

all her pearls

her meadows

this sprawling bed

where we rehearse

and rehearse

crashing waves

radiant rocks

This really touched me today Hamid. Especially "momenteariness"...what a magnificent word to describe an emotion I think I understand. 💔❤️

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Yes, that word does not exist in the dictionary, it came to me naturally as I was feeling intensely something for which I could find no available words. I would have needed a few words to describe it but then, in a moment's pause, I stumbled on this coinage. I'd be happy to read your associations with the word, it's the hinge of the poem.
