Poem “Recognition” appeared in Main Street Rag

My Poem “Recognition” appeared in the Spring 2024 issue of the Main Street Rag

Recognition

Sometimes in the middle of the night

you wake up after a dream

about the brother you never had.

 

He’s taller than you

and has a greying moustache,

with a passing resemblance

 

to the rest of your family.

Perhaps he’s the child

who was never born,

 

meant for another life

like the rain too slow

to catch the changing tide

 

or the tree on the edge

of the forest hidden in darkness,

the place the lost gather—

 

a world like ours, close by

yet distant like sleep

bumping you awake in the night.
