Beautiful poem, Lee. I *really* liked this one. (I mean, I've really liked all your poems that I've read... ) You've got such a natural talent. It just flows.
Excellent poem, I really enjoyed it. I have a small museum-poem fetish, true, but this one pulls nicely on the tension between what is remembered/forgotten in our own lives, and what the museum culture remembers/forgets.
Thanks for your nice comments on my poem. It was triggered after visiting one of the major museums in Vietnam, which actually has Ho Chi Minh's old tan outfit he wore everywhere. I'd also spent a lot of time the year before in Lima, Peru, so I guess a museum poem was inevitable.
I'll plan to read more on your website (I love the name of it, by the way). There was no for you....but I guess I'll just read the poems and enjoy! Thanks for stopping in.

My favorite bit:
"Yes, it is like floating, being in a museum—"
So true. So true.
Lovely work.

Wow, another great one, Lee. Your words are effortless and ring true in one's spirit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Mor. Thank you, Dana. I'm glad you both like(d) the poem. Museums have a strange effect.
