Between fog-densed waking hour

Premium MemberOn the Path Less Traveled by Accident

...Did we meet when stars aligned?
Or when fate dragged our paths,
to coincide, to bump together,

to the place that expelled her-
Octopode ink on a birth certificate.
Black smoke, not blue,
Dark smatter hid from view

across the silent snowy steppes
as a pale sun sidled and slid.

A face that launched a thousand ships.
