Cut By Half

Remember how the
morning was warm with
its first hint of spring

Under the sky unusually clear
our smiles were wandering
through streets with coffee scent
uplifting the mood and the sun
outsmarting the moon

Your bus arrived early when
I thought how again I am
walking you home half-way

Only half-way because the
day was Sunday and
everything closed half-early
in Luxembourg and the
buses too arrived early bringing
nostalgia too quickly

so the day was cut by half
half-early yet the
sun was outsmarting the moon
too soon
