Strings

                                                                                                     

By Eva Feld

To Jack Lindy 

I

Invest  months

into disappearance

fast backwards

toward hollow

Non being

resembles

preexisting

We become imaginary

ergo immortal

II

You have made laughter

to be caresses

You turned fear into comedy

Pulling the strings of hilarity

You have seized the best

                                          of humanity
