I Thought

I thought I had forgotten everything:
Erased every memory of you
From the recesses of my brain,

But when I look at her
At that one angle she looks
Exactly like you did
Your head turned sideways with a little smile

I knew you loved me and nothing frightened me more:
You loved me so much I disregarded it
And gave anything else precedence.
I didn't even give you a chance.

I'm sorry I wasn't ready enough
To put my selfishness aside:
In the end I guess it doesn't matter
You moved on as fast as occasion permit.


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 ...
