Silence with Barbara, I am left with leftovers of an

Intense burst of familiar quiet

Looking for her when my gut sounds like

Entropy, the gush of a private moment penetrated

Not finding her

Cuts me like a burst of our shared silence

Every single time I feel the weightless, dead water scream

My book The Half Paper Moon is here on Amazon 💝
