Impasse
BY AMANDA JERNIGAN
Sei allem Abschied voran: half
a line from Rilke’s Die Sonette
an Orpheus as my motto,
I rehearsed my elegiac art
(“be in advance of all parting”)
and won, I thought, with each song deeper,
until I stood before the keeper
in whom I’ve come to recognize myself.
a place to share my thoughts, my adventures, with my family and friends, near and far...
