Remembrances 


I know that

you are somewhere

amidst

the roaring traffic 


How to love

someone whose face 

is a cardboard cutout

that says

The One To Whom 

Nothing Happened


How to mend something 

that isn't broken

a teacup kept safely 

in a cupboard 

without a thread 

of a crack


To straighten something 

that isn't askew

in the first place 


As for me

I am still here

among the fallen leaves

a thousand red hearts 

whirling in the wind
