It is a most dangerous thing
This thing remembered - if
Done you will return to a
Simple memory when what
You thought you did not
Want is now the only thing
That can sustain you. Do not
Be like him that returns - he
Is here now thinking a promise
Will sustain me - - promise of
A promise in the future tense
And I ask quite simply - if I
Was not enough then - then
What makes me enough now
He categorizes - age, time
Humbleness - all words a
Woman doesn't care to hear
If she wasn't enough for him
To stay what makes her enough
For him to return - it is only
Memories of an incandescent
Night filled with ghosts and bad
Cheap wine. We weren't enough
Then in the winter as your body
Will recall that life will pass as
Softly as our love
