Out of Reach

 

     There is a telephone present,

do I call her, do I let her know that…..

     …..I know morse, radio, semaphore and yes,

there is a light there, here too and…..

     …..I can phone the post office, ask of

     telegram capability to…..

.....and…..to…..

 

     I know the Lore still has grounding

in messages by pigeon and it is so immense,

maybe they will work with albatross and…..

 

     There is a man I know,

a ‘communications expert’ but,

his is a daily response of lost comms

procedure that never knows…..

 

…..how is it, we are so near but?

 

     There is a Man here, who has been trying

to communicate to a very special woman just

     how much he loves her, how much he

understands how many have been

     tarnished in childhood and yes;-

 

     ‘he knows that you too, are the victim

that he knows, he shares and is.’

 

     There be a family that UK Demolition

has had in sights, and prompted by those

keen to make use of certain skills, certain,

     'looks.'

 

     Nomalungelo be privy to only one thing

that I too share;

     ‘ours is the future that was read,

               despised and, shred.

     Ours is the property of Saints and yet,

we do not know how to contact one another,

for all, are scared, all, are hurt!’
