Grabbed by the shoulders
he shook his head in desperation
knowing whatever was said in this situation
would only lead,
like it had already led,
to having his shoulders shaken again
by those that believed that when nothing was said,
then nothing was meant.
Yet by the shaking they could only prevent
any one-to-one making clear of intent.

Not that merely waiting would've guaranteed
a different state in this latent situation.
And no amount of patience can replace
a caring statement
lined with an indication
of the kind of slow frustration
that no offered explanation of an action,
lying beyond the comprehension, builds.

All the will in the world is never enough,
nor the animosity that gets rough
some nameless touch I needed to calm the gaps
between the offender and the offended
until the cracks that nature unintended
in the minds of those where any hope has ended,
are closed.

And once where necks were almost wrung
the voices sing things never sung together,
maybe not so much forever,
but enough to keep unsevered
the connections once begun.
