SENT ON A SHEET OF PAPER WITH A HEART SHAPE CUT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF IT by JOHN HOLLANDER

Poem Explanation

First Line: EMPTY, OR BROKEN-HEARTED? WHERE
Last Line: Waves of remembrance in the darkening air
Subject(s): HEARTS;
Empty, or broken-hearted? Where
A full heart spoke once, now a strong
Outline is the most I dare:
A window opening onto fair
Meadows of hopefulness, or long
Silence where there once was song,
Waves of remembrance in the darkening air
