Questions Answered (Free verse) by miraclemaker
they met at a rally
for a politician,
for the revolution.
it was early morning
the first day of November.
she rode her bike there;
this man spoke sweetly,
the conversation so strong
she walked her bicycle
so she could continue
to be captivated by him.
the day before elections,
the first day of November
became every day indefinite.
conversations became
poetry and verses sang
to each other spontaneously;
songs about love
and love lost.
-where had he been?
in the season between
autumn and winter
their new friendship
transcended seasons,
with every dance she
ecstatically brought
to life for him.
met at a rally for
the political revolution
a woman, tentative yet open
to his questions and stories.
stories and questions
answered in new voices
in a new world,
spinning harmony
singing, dancing
and connecting on this level
a level foreign to her
yet familiar to him.
where had she been??
he lusted after lands
she had traveled and
now they could dream.
