Your face
Was on a photo today
-seen on my Facebook screen.
True,
Your hair was covered.
You were wearing a costume.
I did not know you.
No recognition.
Curious, I zoomed in on the photo.
Nothing.
No heart tug.
No soul stirring.
How could that happen?
You have become the stranger
You wanted me to be.
I am sitting with this.
I am shattered.
Still, if you wanted them
I’d willingly give you the pieces.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
