POETRY FRAGMENT 1 You do not turn to say, and so there come ghostly aftertrails of “excuse me, miss” and “might you be…?” and “won’t you stay and talk with me?” and all the possibility fades away fast, evaporating into the “if only” ether, coming apart as your back grows cold and covered with lichen in the long shadow of your should’ves. You shudder, and you clutch the shawl of your inner life, wrapping it ‘round tightly, and you try to keep warm enough for two.

POETRY FRAGMENT 1

You do not turn to say,

and so there come ghostly aftertrails of “excuse me, miss” and “might you be…?” and “won’t you stay and talk with me?”

and all the possibility fades away fast,

evaporating into the “if only” ether,

coming apart as your back grows cold and covered with lichen in the long shadow of your should’ves.

You shudder,

and you clutch the shawl of your inner life, wrapping it ‘round tightly,

and you try to keep warm enough for two.
