I wrote this poem many years ago.
It was published by Ars Poetica & online
by Poetry Quay. I wonder where those
publications are now.
However, I'm glad to air the poem again.
I hope you enjoy it.
VOICES FROM THE PAST
She sent a card
In sympathy for Tom's death
with a note attached.
She had got religion
and wanted to atone
for the affair she and Tom
had in that mining town
forty years ago.
Our children were in nursery school.
I thought she was my friend
But in preserving
her peace of mind
she has shattered mine.
