it’s the alone in
the dance that makes the never
knowing so complete
Kerfe Roig
Never Knowing
Your absence the loss
of a scale to measure
all that comes after.
What steps to take
in the loss of moments.
Whether to lead. Or follow.
Whether to acquiesce, be carried
away by a tune, or resent it
for the memories it holds.
The dance of never knowing
is a dark reflection of the dance
of enjoyment that came before.
Both the senryū and the watercolor are by Kerfe Roig,
from her post (nowhere) to be found.

That first stanza really deepens my words and leads into a beautiful reflection on them. Thanks Ken. (K)
