alone
again

this resonates in the flow of life
th is unspokenrifting past a cafe window as you
are warm with your glass of red
and in a corner a crackling fire
how many times will I have this scene?
the snow changes this world so profoundly
changes me, into something more gentle
causes a drifting romance of absense
draws sad attention to life's aloneness
without pity, or remorse
simply alone in a snow storm

still, this is a far better aloneness

than the one I had with you
