clips
just parts -
street lamps
reveal of the street

I walk
through it -
and I cant remember
a night
like this
so quiet
awaiting
memories

My eyes stare forward
for a while,
not sure -
I imagine your moving
arms folded
feeling the same

You appear finally
a center point
walking towards me
in the distance

the light
revealing you
for seconds only
before the darkness
takes again

Your face
performs endless,
I can't really tell its you -
and sometimes
even when your right in front of me
I feel the same -
those eyes wondrous
dark
and flexing
like now
in and out of the coral light

I can hear your steps
encrypted
sailing
the breeze
casual
soft
through the forge
of scarf and cap

Our paths are aligned
I don't feel I could fall off-track,
I close my eyes
and take the chance -
as your scent
becomes sudden,
the embrace
authentic
and final
