Poems from the R.M. Dolin novel, “The Dangling Conversation”
Gratitude
I awaken the morning after
our second first kiss
to the pre-dawn darkness
of the coming day.
There’s a seriousness in sunrise
making it the best time
to contemplate the consequences of choice.
After all that’s happened,
I feel the need,
even the obligation,
to greet the sun.
She puts so much energy into
each spectacular show,
we ought to at least
take a moment from
our mostly meaningless day
to demonstrate gratitude.
From chapter 5 of the R.M. Dolin novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle talks about his profound feelings the morning after he and Nadia reconnect.
