ravaging memory recalls

a bleacher beneath spring moon
the football field empty now
but for a few figures scattered
across the benches tangled there
as we were as we lay together
reaching beneath parkas
sweaters to touch warm flesh
kissing as usual under the white moonlight

requiem for an unfinished romance


The moon shone down upon the shore
The lights of the fishing boats were far out at sea
searching for the herring -

The wind raced up the river's mouth
Some boats were left, moored by the pier,
silhouetted against the darkening sky -
quietly loving we barely spoke,
you,
I,
us two
