if I understood
what makes you smile
I would give it to you

she checks
her phone
expecting
to see his reply

she does not know
that he regrets
having written
to her in the early
hours of the day

she thus keeps
checking her phone
hoping to get
his response today

I can feel you
before you gently touch me
I sense your presence
even if you are not here
I listen to your voice
without you saying anything
I smell your skin
although you have already left
it is my memory of you
which makes me believe
that you are here

run
run
don’t miss
the train

smile
smile
forget
the pain

black coffee
strong coffee
bewitching smell
seductive taste
hopeful promise
happy me

how does one
get out of
this mess
she asks

I do not
know
I answer
