Hinge
I don’t know how to tell you this
to give you the number of times I’ve tried to say –
how the sounds wrap around my bones jagged coughing
it’s like…
the only thing I can be is hinged
connected but swinging
away
opening a gap that is finite with a brisk wind of
infinite apologies
each of them meaningful
I feel silly small significantly inside this nest of almosts
VANESSA SHIELDS, writer 
Only a poet could describe emotions, feelings with this wonderful analogy. Mark
