Random Poem:

because someone asked me to write this.
midare

in six months
 1
i have only known you
 2
by reference,
 3
through the still-frame images
 4
of a silhouette in the distance
 5
of aquaintance.
 6
yet i see you now
 7
  
 8
in consonants
 9
and smeared smudges
 10
of sibilant motion;
 11
  
 12
in remembrances that have purpose,
 13
and belonging.
 14
  
 15
i have been missing pieces
 16
and through my own listless resonance
 17
begun to discover the effervescence
 18
  
 19
of a girl who
 20
(even in passing)
 21
could elicit a smile
 22
from others
 23
and make miracles
 24
small wonders.
