looking back appears so unimportant but it seemed so big and unreal at the time....not even sure i wanna post it...



the weakness of crying
as overwhelming as a flood
incapacitated paralyzed
where's the faucet to turn it off

the ache dwelt deep unyielding and barren
unobserved people everywhere
longing to put my arms
around it
cover it
hide it

watching her lips move
words sprouting like tiny new leaves
musical notes of humanity
removed...frozen powerless to move or breathe
listening hearing crying smiling stumbling

w/o care or compassion each word
pierced to depths previously nameless
bent over in anguish whispering softly to him who knows
not again not here not now it's too soon
the words floated weightless awkward in the air
without fear or reprisal hitting the mark with determined loss

remembering all over again water overflowed yesterday
again here it comes replaying the repeat
attaching itself to whatever made it hold on
over and over until i tired from the view
somehow, someway there was release and let go
mysteriously freed from the sudden grip of remembrance and reaction

gee today seems far and distant
but it was only moments ago
