The Absence of Wavelength and Sight

Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf


I witnessed you a thousand feet high.
Blue waters purged a blue sky.
And your eyes
And mine,
Alive.
Two hands,
United elements,
You lifted me higher
That day we hiked
Sugarloaf Mountain.

It was not the ore docks,
Great steel ships,
Coasting seagulls calling —
Or highlights of fall colors
Above your tousled,
honey hair. Vibrant,
my soul singing, every second.
Memory fails to recall
An unknowable song
I long strings would strum.

On a chill, sunny day —
Pause, amid
Restless leaves and decay.
Cleansed, you freed me
From ignorance
And solitude,
Gave hope
I could love better –
Love
someone like You.
