a broker of tales

(Day Five)

tell me your tales

and i shall listen

give you

all my attention

gaze into your eyes

and 

prod you 

into revealing

the secrets

of your depths.

tonight,

you must talk

and i 

shall listen.

tell me 

everything

that is there

to be told

i promise

not to judge

or pass comment

but only 

to nod 

and gaze

and try

to understand

tell me your stories

for 

i am

merely

a broker of tales

listening

and 

passing on

what is yours

as mine.
