Conversations (poem)

Conversations

when my closest friends
were still alive
we'd often get together
for coffee or drinks

and our conversations
reached deep into
our essential selves
with trust and affection

today my conversations
have little reach
beyond some trifling
remark about whatever

it is that people
talk about when
they have nothing
important to say

in my head I still
talk to my friends
but they have yet to

respond

--Charles Deemer
