Wink

Witness standing

Stars throb against the rim of what I see, and my reaching hands hold like waving a signal to the departed, We’re over here! Come join!

And in their winking response I glimpse the humor of their restraint before my limits. I always think the thing to bear is longing and never consider arrival, or the unspoken answer to the questions I’ve begged. 

And where do you think we’ve gone off to? And which of us is missing, now?

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
