Our history

has been swept under the rug. Forgotten.

Today a friend told me about conversations she has with your new girlfriend about your relationship. Don’t worry, it wasn’t detailed, just a couple of passing comments. I watched her eyes to see if she’d remember. She didn’t.

Our past, my friend…

has disappeared into the darkness

and even the people who knew have misplaced it with their keys

they will search and find their keys

but this part of my story will not be remembered by most

i suppose i should be…

but what i am is slightly hurt and slightly apathetic

i’d almost forgotten myself,

but i wish that she’d remembered.

Sound

Listen to the music while sitting in a pool of light

from the lamp?

from the sound.

Imagine

the German hillside alive with green

rolling away into a shrouded forest.

The secret of tomorrow.

There is always room for mystery

and surprise

to break in:

your smile,

a hand,

a pool of color,

a raindrop kissing my face.

Tonight I will sleep and dream about

possibilities.
