i heard the song in an accidental minute. it grazed my heart with a skip, while the wind took my breath; so i sat down on a dirty stair to let it do its thing. it tumbled in me until it went right through and my body felt heavy and tired. like my spirit didn’t want the burden of towing it along. i understood.

i lost him once. like he traveled oceans away where lonesome islands dotted undiscovered seas … so far letters couldn’t reach, and traces just disappeared in primal tides and deep storms. Storms so far away no one on land would even know they’d occurred. It was the deepest, far away loss that only i heard.

the song held it in december when all i could do was remember him. funny that now the remembering is about december. the far away storm. and our gentle return.

all that, from an accidental interruption of a simple song.

-author known . . . quite well
