As if you both knew

December 14, 2024 · Poem 29 of 112

You can't grasp what you'd most wish. Tiny dust motes dancing and shimmering In the early morning light of the office— A perfect angle, a perfect brightness That you'd never seen before. It only lasted a minute Before life moved on. Your child sat on your lap later that day, And you held on so much more tightly, As if you both knew what you had seen.
