Big.
Big person.
Big spirit.
Whose greetings 
were big.
Big. Big visions.
Big plans.
Not the kind of
big plans as in
overweaning ambition,
but as in kind,
kindling, readiness to build.
As in heads up
to being big hearted,
would steady your hand,
would greet you heartily
behind wide robes.
Who was and was not
Cassandra as nothing and everything
is always predictable,
always ignored.

Big. Big spirit.
Embrace expansive of empty air
if need be, making of emptiness
a person to fill it
when one came to her empty.
Yes?  Yes.
Yes, big.
Quick to the chocolate -
quick to give the chocolate -
and that flirtatiousness
everyone should always show everyone else,
being attractive.
Big on that, big with that, 
big in that.
And now:
without big, a big without,
all those loving heart beats
yet to beat.
