What really is remembered?
The show you saw
The concert you heard?
You enjoyed it then.
To step-out post Covid, two years plus,
to socialize again.
You are well.
Like solitary confinement, so many deprivations endured.
Loss of contact with others
To have an intimate moment with someone.
I didn’t know her.
A dog question led to this conversation.
She was forthcoming with good information
As we covered a geography of concerns.
She pursued talking to me
And I listened.
We even laughed some.
Before I knew it she shared
She had breast cancer
And how it was treated.
Triple negative no pill
For usual 5 years.
Somehow we personally touched each other
An emotionally meaningful moment.
In some deep place
I had a satisfaction nothing else could give me…
My meaningful moment.
