She stood at the driveway
Fifty feet from me
Or so
She was so thin
So we ran to greet eachother
Engaged in long, cooing embrace
We almost forgot her bags
Sort of a deliberate gesture
For quaint stories
So she stayed
Everything was enriched
Her presence had
That power
Her power
Awakened our dear friend
Mr. Moon
And she yelled at him
All night
“Where were you when I needed you?
You left me to die.
I learned the magic on my own.
You were supposed to come for me, and set me free.
I don’t need
you anymore.
You’re going to curse the day you fell in the sky.
Why wouldn’t you just stay in love with me?”
I hope she doesn’t find out too soon.
