 The Gift of Presence, by Raymond Saunders, 1993. The Gift of Presence
But I bear none to this confusion flattened into a stoic time-presence . Fine with time, may be fine too with an engagement with variety wherever we choose to buy peace from purveyors of continuity. But then, we live our days in parts ironically linked to connectivity of sorts. Only to be configured over time by a cellular disengagement . S. Jagathsimhan Nair This poem was written for the 20 Poem Challenge. S. Jagathsimhan Nair is the author of three poetry collections, and has also been published in various anthologies.

Jag! So good to see you published in this wonderful journal of the arts. Your poem is so well-rounded! Fantastic, how it circles back onto itself, even as it spins in a new direction. Superb, my friend. I love the juxtaposition between the innate divisions within this piece (the artist has even used door panels to separate parts from the whole)and the way things -- and we----connect to each other. I hope you and yours are well. Warm smile from Cyndi MacMillan
