It's your birthday
today
Facebook reminders
well-wishes on your page
from those that don't know
you'll never 'like' them
Posts prompted by built-in calendars
programs
relationships enriched by
algorithms
polite notices
surely heartfelt
surely uninformed
imagining your smile of
delight
at the remembrance
but your eyes
will never see
your smile never quirk
at the corner
your wit not find
voice again
gone.
I'll not post publicly
I'll remember you here
quietly
where we met
words going forth with a tap
into the electric waves
of eternity
particles of power
echoes of connection
will they find you?
meant to tie
our connection
meant to
remind me of you.
