How To Leave A Life Behind #2
(after Kit Kelen)
I'm not Orpheus
and you weren’t Eurydice
although we danced
like crazies
pretty close to the hole
and even joked
was it spirit
was it water
a substance in the air
made me look back
a thousand years
things I left behind
all vanished
all vanished
the laughter
the foolishness
the poems and stories
that will be different now
So many former lives, a thousand (light) years ago.
