I WOULD HAVE WALKED FOR HER ALONE
,

I WOULD HAVE WALKED FOR HER ALONE

It was no accidental collision

Where everything she said

Became imprinted, like dye,

On the most receptive materials.

I felt a live connection between us-

The world, outside the window –

The sweet smell of rain.

Even in the fall, she radiated

A kind of promise, to keep in touch –

I was ready to give her everything

But the truth, hiding in the trunk.
