Should I warn her?
It isn’t my place,
my business,
the role of someone so long forgotten,
and yet my memories are playing at the seesaw,
undulating about the root cause of
one thousand mysteries,
digging up the underline of
an odd phrase,
or a slap in the depth of the night.
Perturbed and unsettled,
she has become the idol of my dreams,
decked in a blur we do not
see until we
release from the fog,
are released by the one who commands it.
I am a leaf on an easy breeze,
and he’ll be there,
buffeting us between sky and water,
every colour being blue and
holding me in a thing or a
photograph.
She is taken,
embraced,
worthy of a better life.
I wish to save her,
but it is not my place.
