Once & once only…
I caught a glimpse
of a blue so fleeting
that it fished & flashed
before I could be certain that I had even
…seen what I had see.
Still – in my mind
(and forever)
the kingfisher burns
brillantly blue.
Once & only once…
you walked into a room
& spoke
(but did not speak to me)
and soon
(too soon)
you walked out of that room
(as easily as you had entered)
my heart…
before I could be
certain that I had even
…felt what I had felt.
That was all you had to tod.
You were kingfisher
burning brillantly blue.
