Dit Dah

Cafe mirrors look back at me,
Tapping in morse code on the table:
.. / .-- .. ... .... / -.-- --- ..- /
 .-- . .-. . / .... . .-. .

The letters don't work in my head
The words fall out in dots and dashes
A dashed heart would follow,
If it could understand itself.

Heartbreak never hits so hard,
As someone who is here to stay,
Once yours, then changed
Now only a shadow remains.

Will you remember when you come
Back from the coma you are in
From the car you were so scared to drive
Over the mountain?

Or will I sit on my chair,
Tapping morse code like an idiot
Or a budding musician
With only a hint of rhythm
On the cafe table.

Our desert (haiku)

I look through photos Our life through the four seasons Back through the old ones.  Blossoming in spring With all the diverse flowers ...
