love does not recognize time's dominion
a moment and a decade the same
a year as a glance in contemplation
a kiss fleeting but immortally so
this faulty memory
where birthdays and holidays travel
on capricious eddys of sparking electronic
misfires difficult to unravel
sharpens to the picture of you
talking beneath a harvest moon
my finger gently to your mouth
your breath inhaled anticipating
forever passes between our lips
and now still trembling
I stand by a lamppost beholding you
all these years that have passed
gather in the moonlight together
my soul knows your souls answer
your husband turns and goes inside
your children follow close behind
you look in my direction unknowing
drawn by a force you cannot explain
a force beyond your resistance
I put a finger firmly to my lips
I turn
I walk away
I prove it
