a road to cross

she was standing to my right by the side of the road

– already on the road when we stepped forward, on the light

there must have been others, we had the sun over us

close on my left now, halfway over, and she turned to me, that dark hair

that smile.

we looked at each other. into each other.

– and she turned away, off on some work, her work.

I moved up and bumped her, soft, on her elbow

    How come we never forget some of the people we have never met?

      I met her alright pk, you know how sometimes a person in a dream is someone you’ve loved and lost .. just come visiting – I wanted to touch her.

    How do we ever let them know, and do we ever visit them?
