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
