She Needs Fewer Echoes
Reading Time: < 1 minute
She needs fewer echos in her home. They invade every nook and cranny, every drawer when opened speaks; between pages of every single book are squeezed emphatic, rambunctious, demanding sounds. Her only escape is in the night when welcomed dreams bring ecstatic, diaphanous, yet glorious meetings with the one who planted echoes as his spirit reluctantly departed. She speaks his name with such care gently wrapping her lips around the letters like baby kisses so as not to break each dream. And he? He stands in the doorway between now and then, here and there, smiling with his arms open to her... but is silent for he needs no words - they have all been left behind. © Allen Ansell 2023
