They were once lovers
you know
she stood in silence
wrapped in eastern silk
as he was out on business
married to cash
you’d never place them together
but perhaps that’s the point
in passing they locked eyes
she was flooded with
a thousand pacing thoughts
as he was swept under
the tides of memory
she didn’t know how
to play it cool
and neither did he
but how can you
when years of
lines overlapping,
years of impassioned
midnight love,
years of calling
mums mum
and dads dad
collapse
in two
forced smiles
and passng
silence
