'Really Good Noodles'

Meditations on K.R. #4 | a poem

Reviewing the past in a sticky fog,
the silence pungent with nostalgia,
you asked if anything was real.

My answer was a question.

We did not know this moment would answer
every riddle for years to come,
including several moments later

when you asked about the Oracle.
I parted my lips to say, She told me…
And the rest couldn’t be words
because I was unsure
ashamed
timid

Veils could obscure your vision then.
You could not read my breath.
And so it seemed
I was silent.
