wherever you may go
as much as I think I should
I don’t pretend to know you
stranger in the midday sun
dancing in the city park
as if nobody is around
I sense undercover angels
hovering above you
unseen agents pulling strings
adding to your improvisations
interpreting forward movement
though grief is your dance
your eyes tell me otherwise
giving me pause and hope
that you may extend your hand
and take me with you
april two thousand eighteen
