Excellent minimalist free verse Patterns : Echoes by estory

Echoes Echoes of voices Echoes of voices calling Echoes of voices calling in the distance Of voices calling in the distance Calling in the distance In the distance Distance Distant Distant faces Distant faces lost Distant faces lost to time Faces lost to time Lost to time Time Time glimmering Time glimmering in Time glimmering in a window Time glimmering in a broken window Glimmering in a broken window A broken window A window A window A window looking back A window looking back across A window looking back across the space Looking back across the space Back across the space Across the space The space Space Spaces empty Spaces empty of light Empty of light Of light Light Author Notes This is another example of the method of minimalism, of using repeating patterns to create the music of language in poetry. It is kind of a romantic theme, lost love, broken relationships, and the I thought the echo would be a perfect mechanism for capturing it. Here we have a sense of distance in space and time, of fragments of images glittering in the emptiness, voices hanging in the air, calling after us, after we've gone. estory
