amplified distance
for Rosie
You improvised a solution
To hearing aids in need of repair
Holding your phone to your ear
As I called you on my cell phone
Sitting across from you
Hearing my voice echo
The walls of that room expanded
To the nearest cell tower and back
The distance between us
Amplified and reverberating
Me soft spoken and speaking slowly
My short phrases and pauses
Audible and comprehensible
But such a separation in space
Better to speak up almost shouting
Getting very close beside you.

about time
Time is a horizontal surface
Collecting events that fill our days
Keeping us busy keeping track
What's on the calendar.
Imagine an infinite expanse
Empty of all the items for you to do
That would be the end of time
When nothing ever happens next.
The less that needs to be done
The more what to do is a choice
Full of possibility at every turn
Becoming eventuality as we age.
Being aware of the ground we walk upon
Beneath us every step of the way
The way we were back then
The way we will be when
The waves that flutter through us
Like ripples on the surface reflecting
Smoothed out into perfect stillness
Disappear beyond the event horizon.
