I regret you're unable to reply
to my unexpressed desires.

― Harryette Mullen



Ungratified
The weather
Would not conspire—


I wanted
A tender spring
Not unsettled.

Sunlight tarried
A few hours
Then relented—

And night
Opened a vein
And bled


Stormy times,
Distort memory—

Droplets glint
From silvery panes.

In the mist,
A figure passes...

Your watery wraith
In the rain.
