It's been forever.

Sight has not been
since time erased
the love.

Time
Tragedy
Betrayal

All
eroded the stone
of our bond.

Now we simply
don't see.

When forced
side by side,

we communicate
through
the text of masks
we wear.

I feel you
you feel me

with fingertips
we discover
the loss.

Yet we continue

in a state
of unseeing
of uncaring
without love.

Anne,
I can feel the masks falling away
with each new poem you type.
