How Long
July 9, 2016
I couldn't help
but I tried.
The only way to understand
was to put words
in your mouth.
You stayed behind,
independently in need,
shaking hands and slow words.
Your question was a puzzle
of gestures I didn't understand.
Misunderstanding is
your every day.
I walked away and you
remained.
They came to find you.
How long did you wait?
