Neman Told Me
The clarity of it all.
The glitter of the noise once enveloped,
Burst out into bits of incertitude.
It should be succinct but,
Sounded like a rippled sense of warning.
A threat that was also a hug.
The glitter was an emphasis;
It wasn't gold.
With the puny efforts of a supposedly scented life,
While the garments are continuously hemmed with unkept promises,
Neman held the outstretched hands.
Hands wide open but scarred.
Wondered if it was right to hold them;
The noise once enveloped;
The sound of it all;
Neman told me it glittered more.
Like a starry vision with tingles.
Holding those hands with a fidget.
To let go or not...
