GHOST

 

I awoke

My dead wife

stood in the doorway

of our bedroom

To see me?

To fetch me?

I wondered

if this were a sign

she missed me

as much as I do her

DESIRE

 

 

Desire for romance

And new experiences

Brought what was wanted

The romance was lovely

While it lasted

New experiences came

And passed

The pleasures thinned

The memories remained
