Meeting Sonia after

by the fool - Not entered

You sit
I look
we smile

The usual
         Feigned greeting-words
         admitting no memory, no meaning

Your eyes
       only reflect and speak naught

I will
deny the past
         no more
Words must be found

So
   I speak
I like your haircut

Still
I am left with but one thing

           fingernails carved
                  into my back.
Birth sign: Not entered
