A Poem by Rona Shaffran

 

Rona Shaffran's Ignite explores the lives of a man and woman who have lost emotional connection and physical connection in a relationship too long unattended. Ignite is available at the Northern Woman's Bookstore and on line at Chapters. More about Rona Shaffran at www.ronashaffran.ca.

EARLY MORNING MIST

Amber fields scuttle away

and crouch in tall mist.

Trees angular

as a runic alphabet

line the roadside,

their naked

limbs reach

into nothing.

I'm driving myself...where?

One touch

                one touch.
