Knowing you
I knew
A girl who batted her eyelashes
One who touched me
and had a tinkling laugh
One who stood tearless
by her husband’s coffin
then cried
when we joined hands
One who was
the most alive person
I had ever seen
And one who told me things
you should not hear

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
Beautiful – some things are heard without a word ever being spoken. Hope you are well!
