Poem

As you slow down your car
She stands in the yard
As you speed up your heart
She says “Directions, how far”
She does not recognize you
Have you changed all that much
She looks at you puzzled
As you long for her touch
And you drive away empty
As you drive away cold
And you drive away blackened
From your heart to your soul
But your path is now clear
Though you’ve no place to go
And those things that you’ve feared
Have now rightly been shown
As you walk in the kitchen
The door never had locked
Standing behind you still smitten
The one you thought had forgot
“Was that you in the car earlier
Was that you, really you
I couldn’t believe it
Because I still love you, I do”
   A reward wrapped in burlap
   The priciest kind
   Where if never rejected
   You are never to find
   So make just one more promise
   To then promise again
   To be true to your feelings
     —from beginning to end

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)
