lost:found:downwardgaze.
by Andrew S Adamsi was looking for you
but my searching
only led my eyes
to my shoes.
i dont know what i expected to find,
but all i noticed was the laces untied.
and, when i finally did
rip my gaze from the floor,
the face i found wasnt
yours anymore-
just a simple memory,
an image that i wanted so badly
that i couldnt face it-
like another photograph
lost somewhere behind a refridgerator
only to be rediscovered
once it's time to move on,
and the staring once again
is decidedly downward. 01/23/2004 Posted on 01/24/2004
