in retrospect
is how I’m best remembered
present tense often
not easy to bear
especially here
outside my natural element
which is not to say
I won’t have another glass
of whatever they’re pouring
wherever I am
before moving farther
down the line
letting memory
take care of itself
Reblogged this on The Cheesesellers Wife and commented:
Another great poem from Leonard. And one I see myself in…..
Thank you for reblogging this poem.

A wonderful poem for reflection. I, too, can see myself in this.
Glad you like it.
