shh

like mice at play in the mission
second-hand phrases scurry
scritch-scratch at places that hold
the usually forgotten

shoulder up to the afterlife
grips slip swift to future
deja-vu

slip of tongue
desensitized
from sipping tea
too soon

perhaps it would be prudent
to learn Braille
practice vision without sight

  You wouldn't need to see it, you'd feel it.

Long time no see. Your style still speaks to me. As always, babe: loved it from the start.
