Bereft and yearning. The "O" is a clever inclusion. There's almost a double conotation with still.to be patient and still and to still persevere. I don't know whether or not that was intentional, but it caught my attention.
Alfred: I'll have to think about this. It was the least favorite Thursday. Could be divided into separate parts and/or linked. The style is somewhat rambling though... It's closer to "slow poetry".
Ken: Typos are a bane of a writer's existence. Thanks.
This is a bit long... and the least favorite of the four read Thursday night. It could probably be pruned or divided into three separate or linked prose poems. We'll see.
I liked this. I'm not sure I agree with Le Troubadour about the rambling of the beginning. It is what it is.
"... and welcomed its imminent arrival." Sorry: I rarely leave its/it's errors unflagged, as they drive me to distraction. I know, I know... don't sweat the small stuff...
Excellent imagery and a compelling moment captured! Yes, the turn of phrase is inspirational, perhaps you could turn it into a challenge for us lesser scribes.
