Because relationships are strange...

Text by Carol Ann Duffy
I tend the mobile now
like an injured bird.

We text, text, text
our significant words.

I re-read your first,
your second, your third,

look for your small xx
feeling absurd.

The codes we send
arrive with a broken chord.

I try to picture your hands,
their image is blurred.


Nothing my thumbs press
will ever be heard.

  1. Yes, strange indeed.....

    I see you're as committed to this blogging-thing as I am ;-)

    I think the answer (at least for me) would be to be able to blog telepathically. Oft' times during the day, it'll come to me - words flowing seamlessly -- but only in my mind...
