i saw you at the corner
sitting alone by the table
i am the mysterious traveler
swimming amongst
thousands of reflections
until suddenly i
reach the only point
of our very first meeting
that started in tomorrow
but ended in the past
a recollection of memories
replaying all the scenes
when you and i
were together
hypnotic as it is
i drown, every once
in a while
in the pull of gravity
towards the warmth
of those arms, those lips
soft, tender, inviting
those subtle whispers
in the cold nights, heavy rain
while feeling the heat
of your breath on my ears
as this image becomes
the current projection, my now
a past appearing in the present
to be created as my future-
our future
our basic primordial soup
as I play the events in reverse
but the sequence is still
past, present, future
at this very moment
all recreating itself
just to be with you
once again.
