Kathy M. IV
Engraved like stuben glass, her face
against the sunlight … telling me no
she wasn’t confused about how she felt
about me
about her marriage and her life, yes…
but about me, … no ….
I could have wished it otherwise
my emptiness told me
but I came here for the truth
either way … to feel it,
to embrace it.
Even now I want to run and say, ’stay’,
that I can be JUST friends
share smiles and lunches and friendship
endure for the magic of your smiles
and the candor of your spirit.
But why say this …
the sight of her will be enough
to unmoor me in the days to come
when against all feeling I’ll ignore her
and against all reason, … fail.
