My jealousy a phantom limb
—the young French lad
studying architecture | his love
a Korean girl with a broken leg
but a fixed heart— bit of serendipity
: (i met them last night
in a local café down the road).
Everyone is important | sadness
sustains | there is function |
mobility though heels dig-in |
hesitant to being dragged home
—elsewhere | lovers remain
: how is it that we gamble
good for uncertainty…?
Though i witnessed the departure
of these young lovers | i still
think train stations more upsetting
than airports…some…thing
about | grounded travel | the limit
of distances | obdurate tracks.
Evening broke the clouds
& too | likeness of talk in
the open where the nearness
of sun is eclipsed by want.

A gorgeous piece this, Daniel, from the opening line to the ending. Desire rules all, that is life. PS: the infinity is fine, but I meant the line below. 😃
Cheers Steve. I think I’m just getting old being soppy over young love.
I wouldn’t have said that, Daniel, these are universal themes you’ve drawn out.
A gent as ever Steve.
It’s taken me a long time to write anything about love, over a decade. I think this might be the first instance where love is the major theme & circumstance in any of my writing.
