Small World |
She was shaking and talking |
Louder and louder |
Each sentence was sifted to a very fine powder |
Her face was wet and tight |
Her grip was cold and light |
A strong wind could blow you down |
I heard myself say |
Word up sister |
A strong wind could take me away |
I said how long have |
You been at large |
They told me you were stashed |
Last time I asked |
She said I’ve been out now |
For all of three hours |
I just resurfaced |
And here you are |
I must admit |
That it has been hard |
So far |
I said skeletons are fine |
Your closet or mine |
And we took turns recounting |
The details of lost time |
And when we had both |
Admitted it all |
We threw our heads back |
And laughed until we cried |
We laughed because the world is absurd and beautiful and small |
There we were |
Washed up on the curb |
As the rush hour traffic |
Went out with the tide |
And I was aware that |
With every word spoken and shared |
I could see her shaking subside |
I said sister looks to me |
