Only You Can Say What This Means

Explanations hang like lace
In the air between talkers
Talking about the same place,

Although you’d never know it.
One refers to a meadow,
Describes it as a haven,

Rampant with bright wildflowers
And surrounded by tall trees,
One refers to the bodies

She imagines buried there
And says could have been murdered.
It’s a strange conversation.

There are wildflowers. There aren’t
Likely any bodies there.
The first talker likes the spot

As a quiet place for lunch,
A stolen hour with a book.
The second camped there one night,

Listening for trucks and bears.
Can day and night mean that much?
Meaning is a behavior.
