All in Muzdawidj

A Lifetime of Dying

I wrote this poem years ago in the form of an Arabic Muzdawidj. I rarely explain my poems, and wiil refrain from explaining this completely as many of my poems have double meanings. But at least in good part, it is about spending time with someone and all the while knowing that they’ll soon be gone forever. A tragic thing.. to miss someone we love before they’re gone, and then endure a lifetime knowing we missed those moments with them when we had them.
