True FAX

by Lola Cruickshanck/cancer - Not entered

It means so much to read the words you write
Which show me screts, clues to that which shapes you,
Hints of those places you have been
Inside your head and out.
Lives you have lived, loving and laughing.
Lives you have lived, loving and dying
Inside and out.
It means so much to hear the words you speak
Which tell me truths, some of which I'd rather not know,
And all of which I cannot live without knowing.
It means so much to see your face in my dreams,
Even when I'm not sleeping. I am keeping my door open
In case, one day, you are out and would like to come in.

Reason for writing:

    About a transcontinental friendship conducted largely via FAX machine.  He was a reluctant lover. The poem speaks for itself.
