In my current mood, simple and reflective are the proper forms of expression. The title of this piece was actually inspired by a dream.
In it, someone who I don't know called me on the phone to recite a poem called "Linger Back" that I had written and they found touching. Of course I can't recall the words of the dream poem, but I think the sentiment is the same.
Linger Back
By Francis Scudellari
Linger back
a few short moments
with me,
soft-edged times
when life is simple,
happy
or seems, so
stay, don't race ahead
just yet
to certain
futures, we both know
won't be
