VERBAL REMEDY
So many
disconnected
birthdays
lost to us
then
November 1995
unexpectedly
your
disembodied voice
evoked memories
of
that
unnatural rending
from
a
devastating
long—ago
coupled with
possibilities
of
un-hoped-for
tomorrows
one’s
entire lifetime
re-lived
disclosed
inter-woven
into
the tapestry
of
the other
cadence
gestures
expressions
reflected and absorbed
replenished
an
ever-present
yet
unacknowledged void
the tentative dance
began
inquiries
responses
could have beens
might have beens
never weres
what was
what is
what may bes
once out of sync
with practiced
choreography
after
finding our timing
we continue
to tap
in
euphoric challenge
