Lost Art

by e-san - Cancer

Brisk walks through the morning trees
merely for exercise
Dinner parties with half-filled wine glasses
more like business meetings
Quiet picnics on isolated beaches 
devolve into paper plates
non-fat spreads

Soon hiding behind the altered faces
behind the altered masks
colon and end parenthesis
meaning less and less each time

The lost art of a slow sunset
a smile,
with infinite suggestions
Breathing words together 
through the eyes
in long flowing exhalations...

almost a dream
almost a sigh
The human voice awake us
as you open your eyes
Birth sign: Cancer
