Where Is A? (For A) Poem by RIC BASTASA

Where Is A? (For A)



he sent me a video
of himself humming in
Greek

not the literal Greek
language that you understand

it is strange and
(my heart cries perhaps
there is this
indescribable sympathy for
one in pain)

i may be out of frame
attributing pain to one who has not
experience pain
outside this small world of
indifference

it is the distance that understands
and i am definite about it

i dream of someone who fell upon a cliff
deep into the blue ocean beneath
and for one thing
i have not heard any cry for help
