Songs of Broken Offerings: Poems

By MM Williams

There are books we read with the eyes.
And then, there are books like this one-
read with the fingertips,
read with the breath held,
read with the ache that memory leaves behind
when it walks out the door softly,
without closing it.

These poems arrive soaked in the tidewater of longing. They speak not to the casual reader, but to the listener-one who has stood at a window after dusk, who has folded silence into a letter never sent. These are not declarations; they are recoveries. A glance caught too late. A dress brushing the edge of twilight. A woman whose name is never spoken, but whose shadow is memorized by every page.

Here, love is elemental: wind, salt, stone, hunger.
Here, absence is not an end, but a lingering.
Here, she walks barefoot through each stanza, and she hums in the background with hands full of dusk.

This collection does not shout. It burns slowly.
It bruises gently.
It kisses like something that may not come again.

You will not leave it the same.

You may not leave it at all.
