You look like her.

No, not in the full light,
nor to the searching
and discerning eye.
But glimpsed briefly-
En passant-
By a mind preoccupied
Like a ghostly image
You look like her..


You, of course, are you.
The resemblance is
Superficial
It is like touching
A woman on her shoulder
Thinking, wrongly,
That she was one
I had loved.
A chance encounter
