Reminder
Hi,
I hope all is progressing well.

We Are Like Hands
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know how hands come together to clap,
sometimes gentle, soft, rough, hard, stinging, wet,
barely touching, not touching at all -- yet,
connecting through a whole despite a gap?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Might our meetings be incidental or
mayhap poetry slipping through your lips
so naturally, always with a quip,
at me, intentions, coincidental?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember your voice reaching my heart
in yore years of war, mid battle, piercing
my cold, as though finding a veneer part
of me, in need of better protection.
I remember you wielding, running in
fields like a gazelle as though with
somewhere else to go though nowhere
else to be,
you and your women comrades in a tactical stampede.
Excuse me as I gush a few glimpses of my history.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know how close we are to ever coming even near together again. Yet, if we are like hands on a body outstretching both arms wide to embrace the best of the universe, I hope you are receiving the best of your shares with no harm to good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Onward and Upward,
Kevin Dufresne
