Poems from the R.M. Dolin novel, “The Dangling Conversation”
Shadows Brought to Life
Pages meant
for turning,
moments meant
for passing,
linger like
shadows brought to life
along a line of lampposts,
silently projecting distance
on fog covered nights
in black and white,
providing no comfort
even though
we welcome their presence.
From chapter 8 of the R.M. Dolin novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle acknowledges his uncertainty about whether Nadia loves him, a painful truth he needs to know but doesn’t want to face.
