glimmer of things that were
by Angela Thomaswe were alone for the first time in over
a year, former lovers in a familiar situation,
the conversation right back where it left
off, our hands right where they belonged.
i could feel the reaching from inside
of me somewhere deep down, a feeling
like needing food, hunger pangs, wanting
to be held, to be comforted, to be with
someone who understood me. he smiled
at me. that grin. the one that was reserved
for things that made him unreservedly
happy. he made me smile like that once.
when he got out of the car, i drove off quietly
into the night without saying goodbye. 07/25/2011 Posted on 07/26/2011
