there’s a poet I know who shared something she’d found
a fantastic poem she has no recollection having written
details only she would know or care to cast about
*
its verses convey a voice unlike her normal fare
she recognized that straight away
as did we, her faithful poetry companions
*
how to regain this same tone, this sense of freewriting
she asks, hoping we can guide her back to this unknown place
I tap the side of her head, gently, tell her friend, it’s all in here


What a lovely tribute to this moment yesterday!

Life is tough, darling, but so are you.
It really stuck in my head!!
