GONE, by M. A. MAYS First Line: The point was settled / the year went out Last Line: And some . . . Went out . . . Forever. Subject(s): Loss | ||||||||
The point was settled; The year went out. Just minds, revolving, found lost days, And then the minds went out. But little words upon a page told of that year -- That lost year fading ever backwards, Taking with it its culling of fragmentary lives. . . . And some of those remained upon a page. . . . And some . . . went out . . . forever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...1851: A MESSAGE TO DENMARK HILL by RICHARD HOWARD WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN HEAVY SUMMER RAIN by JANE KENYON BURNING THE OLD YEAR by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE POSTCARDS TO COLUMBUS by SHERMAN ALEXIE THE CROSS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
