a 45 year
old school mate
called for a date
to our old village
visited our nostalgic places
sat near the lake
time went
I entered her heart
it was
like a deserted old house
partly sink in mud
opened the gate
and walked in
her house waiting for
known guest for long time
knocked
no one inside
the kitchen of the heart
never used
for long…..
it was empty, cold and
lightless
walls are carrying
cracks
a total absence of
human love
…….
slowly
cleared and cleaned
in and out
lit a few candle
cooked some….
sang some old songs
……………………..
………… am very glad
to be there
even alone
Now, almost evening
she got up
smiled
thanked
started…
she walked slowly
leaving tears
behind
a few miles
then
no tears
no traces of her….
................
missed her…..
