Lost Nuts and Found Bolts

Tuesday, March 31, 15   I wait and wait and look into the monitor,  looking searching for some recognition. But I also look for some resemblance,  do we look alike,  are we related.   Am I manufacturing a connection? Yes, we came from  the same egg  the same sperm –   We were together for almost nine months then three years.   A while back, I talked to a twin couple, I could tell them apart – even though they were identical.   We talked about you – your being a part me and me being alone in my twinness. They seemed to understand.   Two individuals bound at birth. And the Sunday we Skyped Your hair slicked back,sideburns bushy and wild.   I could imagine  a pack of cigarettes rolled up into your white t-shirt sleeve, your jeans hung down just so.

I have this memory of  Hugh working with ferocity  and fervor, as if he were attempting  to exorcise the knowledge  of something so horrific, that  like the bomb it sears  images of shadows into one’s memory.  Scraping, erasing, printing, etching,   adding and deleting and repeating until  the images had morphed into monolithic obelisks forever expressing their  condemnation.

"Venus Of the Sandia Mountains" 1/11/2015 She waits, back turned,  listening to the whispers of the wind, of time passing,  waiting for us to feel the presence.
