you are hearing stories
that you weren't even listening to
with an attentive ear
belated tears
between the porcelain trinkets
"how much for the cup?"
in the strange light
of late afternoon
then you resume your tasks
of the day and of the evening
you remember all the confidences
you did not want to receive

Sylvie – you have a talent for capturing the briefest moment in time…
thank you very much Bruce, the smaller, the harder
A moment of brilliance
So nice, thank you
