Afterglow a Memory
What! That sweet peace between you and me… never-
What we had was a thought, a hidden moment of what could be
A possibility
I didn’t read your poem, call it deceit
Don’t pretend
I cannot, my body is too simple, untrained
Thankfully my mind doesn’t work that way
I pay as I go
Today is tomorrow as was yesterday, it’s late
The broken hinges of an old flip phone
The slip-shoddy patterns of a diet, a way to perfection,
Art, a tasty confection
The piano class was a dream given up for the birth of a child
Backing up, holding tight, holding on
The child more important than the dream-
In the cloud, still there- waiting
Another time for delicious showers afterglow
