“Blurs and Bulges”

Response
Of Blurs and Bulges
By Pippa Possible
Inspiration piece
“Is that all you have to say to me?”
There is a silence.
A silence
blurs and
bulges.
“I didn’t know you would be here.”
He bursts
out eagerly,
makes me
listen
closely
to every
word.
“You could still have welcomed me.”
“I do”
He erupts in
a deafening yell.
A deafening yell,
elongates into a
sweeping,
brassy,
kind of
stretching
roar.
“Whatsamatter, you?”
No
one
dares
leave
for
even
a moment.
“How are you?”
I have
missed this.
Missed his
every
other
busy
pleasant
sound
as well.
“Don’t you like it?”
We make
eye contact.
Eye contact
blurs and
bulges.
“I don’t mind a bit. I like it.”
