The Other Day....long Ago
I saw you the other
day, long ago…,
wrapped in the

knees.
Both, of which
were tucked,
in fetal position,
up against
your firm
victorious breasts.
Thankfully,
they had eluded
a cancerous fate.
The steely blue,
grey-specked eyes
that had adorned
me long ago
with lust,
now seemed
to absorb the
darkening skies
for which they
mirrored.
All light was gone.
As were you,
my long ago
and
not-so- forgotten
tenderness.
Even with him,
you were without.
Empty. Hollow.
And sadly,
gray.
