Ode to What Never Was . . .
Oh, the times we could have shared…
the moments of laughter
gales of laughter
coursing through our bodies
stomachs tightening, chests heaving
leaving us panting
avalanches of laughter
with eyes watering in contentment
Oh, the times we could have shared…
the moments of anguish
the tearing of our souls
the searing of our hopes and dreams
the endless tears, the resolute hugs
nurturing, protecting, cherishing
strength
and vulnerability
Oh, the times we could have shared…
the moments of anxiety
the fear of others discovering who we are
our hearts beating rapidly
our palms sweating profusely
our collective sighs of relief at our collective strengths
facing the world again
Oh, the times we could have shared…
the moments of joy
unabashed, uncommunicative, unexplainable
happiness
our visceral beings on fire, emoting fireworks
impatient for the next moment
in a sequence of next moments
grinning, skipping, shouting
extending heaven
Oh, the times we could have shared…
but didn’t
avoiding
rationalizing
deflecting
suppressing and repressing
expedient and shut down
stoically asking about the weather
ignoring and forgetting each other
lost moments
recalled wistfully
with the shaking of a head and downcast eyes
Oh, the times we could have shared…
