The Day Our Stories Got Short

..

 

We used to talk tall
-tales, surface trails
of circle flow going no
-where.

These last small drips
of us, this end, these
stilted st(r)ands of
hope, they’re fleeting.

Just this:
our beating
hearts.

    Perhaps when we reach a stage of less is more we are communicating at a more meaningful level..one which requires no words
