Some other life
The moment arrives
Deliberately slow in the unfolding
Cautiously eluding the not to be spoken
Taking time and
Some distance to carry
Into immortality
Meanings
All said
A long while ago
Could see it in her eyes
She was...
Or was I just drowning in them
The unpredictability alive
Swollen in the throat
Where the words are stuck
If only the heart could get out
Not fumble
And hold quietly, patiently, her hands
Then those lips might part for mine to join
And the world would be as it should
