NC Poetry Out Loud 2009 - "Time Does Not Bring Relief: You All Have Lied" by Edna St. Vincent Millay

[pvtiongson]

good reading. but i think that Edna St. Vincent Millay would have wanted this to be a very quiet reading - almost indifferent. accusing without anger. bereaved - an yet unaffected. grieving - and yet composed. i can't do any better than what has been portrayed - trust me - but when i read her poems, that's how i hear it in my head and in my heart.

That's how I feel about my husband's death.

Everybody tells me I should be over it, b/c it's been so long. That was two weeks after he was killed.

Well, it's nearly 8 years later and I still "miss him in the weeping of the rain."
