Poem of the Week | Let us go then, you and I by Bernadette Gallagher
Let us go then, you and I
By Bernadette Gallagher
to look at a spider’s web
in the fog of a spring morning
to see a cat’s tail shoot up
as you approach
to see the sun lift the mist
from the valley
to hear a letter drop
through the letter box
to see your first swallow arrive
to feel the absence after they have gone.
(Title is taken from line 1 of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot)
