an abundance of light covers us all...
we dance with our nude reflections on the wall
wondering how easy it was to find each other...
we speculate on tomorrow then give us the
silly investigation as it was really none of our
business even though we pursued it most
of the day... we see the commonplace while
ignoring the unusual as it does not match
the vision with which we awakened and
while silence is golden to some, it is not
to the rest of us who chase our tails like
a dog, hoping not to catch them... rumors
keep us focused when chatting with the
neighbor who life was just repossessed by
his wife's death... his lingering fears of
loneliness are worn like a sun hat to keep
out the light while farming... he knows
not why he cries out for attention but
when it arrives, rejects it like the dessert
he refused to eat when dining out last...hat
he is known for his tenacity and shares
some of it with us in our quiet chats of
just listening to each other try to breathe.
