YOU

THE WALL

I find the further back I go, the better I remember things, whether they happened or not.
Mark Twain

THE WALL
I stopped by our wall again today
Staring
Just staring
I saw an image of you
Fleeting
As you hurried by
It was like somebody
Had stood on my grave
You in all your finery
Mirrored on a blank wall
Blank
Just like your face.

DEPARTURES

DEPARTURES

You look straight through me
As if I wasn’t there
I walk straight past you
As if I didn’t care

Two bodies easing past each other
Both waiting for a train
One heading for oblivion
The other bound for Spain
