Listening to every heart

Almost


It was

number one fifty and something else, another digit
of another submission, another try
and even though it seemed
to feel right, to have done it, again,
at that moment, some months ago,
still I think I expected the world’s word play
of “thanks much, but your work did not fit…”
or some such tango
of tangled mien and then, when it came,
so many months later…

no surprise to me….

so my almost alma mater didn’t want me…
almost…

Almost, the handwriting therein belying
the belly-rot of standard etiquette eloquently,

almost it said,

and then, some more, in Paul’s hand,
please send us more of your work!

And the exclamation point
skilled my spine.
