Aisle

It was snowing.

All I could smell was the traffic.

My head pounding and then my heart

when

All I could see in a crowd of faces

was you.

Looking into me as if I were naked.

At one point I wanted to take off all my clothes

Like a person who has let go on ecstacy

my jacket, scarf and boots.

Instead I covered my face.

I looked out the window

into the blanket of white,

thinking

"Where am I?"..." I will know when i get closer"

wondering how much time

we could pass in the same place at once.

Staring at the floor

And then back at you.

My heart was pounding so loud

I thought maybe you could hear it

from where you sat. alone.

I got up to get closer, and you left...

then I smiled.

But I can still see you sitting there...

even after you left.

I could still see you.
