a new poem

[emchy]

all the rumors are true

we talk about you when you’re not there

huddled in the corner whispering

mouths wide with smiles and words

about how you cut a path through the room

about how bold and lovely your laugh is

about how you inspire us

about how loud you live

about how you would love this band

about the magic your mouth and words make

about how we both wish so hard that you were here

so when you ask me

words thick with worry and fear behind your eyes

not sure where to lie down the heavy burden of distrust anymore

yes we do talk about you when you’re not there

we do it all the time.

-Cindy M. Emch
