Unfinished

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)





You are the sullen
Red shadow
On the moon


An unexpected
Surprise
Of color


Somehow
I know
We existed
Before

And small details
Make me
Remember:

Oaks
In October

The musty
Scent
Of wine

The way
You close
Your hand in mine

Don’t fight it—
We’re more ancient
Than rock

We were here
Before and now
We’re back

Not ghosts
But flesh

We’ve found
Ourselves
Again

Maybe Love
Always returns

Or we have
Unfinished business

Lingering
From back then
