I Feel to Share a Memory

I feel on this fall night to share a memory

both old and warm

Of the young, worn

Away in revelry

An arrhythmic dance between lovers

With nothing but their hands wrapped ’round the others’.

Cigarettes- his loosely hung, hers pinched between teeth in between drags

A mystic asked in the glow of the restaurant’s fluorescent lights

Why the half-lover looked like she was in pain when she inhaled

And laughing the same exhaled again to shrug.

Off the couple went to sleep in the cold and mutter soft dreams into eager ears as they shivered into one another-

two desert’s sands blending at that frequency-

until even now in the lowlight of evening where her heart

lined with worry and loss

Is his heart

Is my heart again

Is his heart still

Entanglement of souls

Neither can undo nor outrun nor misremember
