Momentary Complications


Something
not yet said
collapses, momentarilly
complicating
the poem’s beginning.

And so,
silence
once again
has its 
claim
on me.

Though thought
be broken,
the swell of a song
flaunts the heart, 
right here, right now.

Eagerly
I catch sight 
the silent migrations
of rendered interpretations
and begin to think –
what, if 
anything,
can be gained from this.

What be 
the connecting thread
originating from
abandoned words
that previously held
moments of unabashed
self-expression.

Eyes and mind vividly alive,
newly sparked with courage,
carry on – leaning hard
in to everything.

Always there’s memory –
imperious its eye,
seductive its pull,
strategic its maneuvering.

Silent commotion as the words
start moving, pulling, revolving within
vistas of thought – images tugging,
figures melding together, passing
through black then white
and all else in between.

Lives, loves, losses
and forgotten miracles too –
all fatigued over time
as life paces on,
making possible
our daily continuance.
