Brief stream-of-consciousness response to the writing of a friend.
It’s not about being good enough or even “good” at all.
Wood floor to night sky
Plucking signal from my noise
Dear friend newly found
A vast sea with secret currents.
I thought I had it beat. I thought it was gone for good. Why won’t it stay gone?
On feeling more hopeful, more victorious, more triumphant than what it wants to allow you.
One day they won’t be here
One day they won’t stay anymore
A stream of consciousness response to a powerful empathetic connection with a dear friend and their fear.
Separate lives
Separate experiences
Briefly
Somehow
Empathy connects
…
He gives me so many things, least of all the homemade bread.
Clouds smothering stars
While lifting others to goals
Still my own fight
