She said You have a good ear
My mind choked on the flood
of potential and witty retorts
Instead all I said was Thank You

Thought was there
not now

I wish I could scream
raise the words from the page
and hurl them in your face

The words will need to be perfect this time;
they tell me now there’s no room for error
or remorse. Calibrate all dials steady
to measure the distance between two hearts,
tolerance at zero, infinity
or somewhere in between. Apply precise
tone, gesture, histrionics on request,
build a bridge, bridge the gap, gap the spark, spark
to light the pathway with strong intention
to meld into darkness at the far end
where there’s another in wait – so they say –
but you can never be certain these days.

Embrace the brainstorm
get up there high atop trees
rainfalls in your mind.
