Stories from a dry well

early morning pour
a scribbled journal entry
down to the bone style
no reflection
~~~

Will you listen?

Be with me in my telling

discovery. The place.

The people. The why

of remembering

fractured images

black & white, once color

and visceral. Real.

Will you listen ...

eyes alert with curiosity

nods of I am with you

emotive urges of go-on

tell me more

The dry well of stories

Replenished with our tears

Teller. Listener.

Touching in our now-ness
Full facing

The rain. The rose. The romance.

The play. The spacious house. The mom.

Return in the telling

My story. Your story,

Heard. Happened. Here.
