I look over to see her short haircut
As it moves in a bob when she spins in the air
Winding around her like a beautiful scarf
Her partner
The one with the golden blond hair
How has it been in the month since we left?
They asked as they sat on the fallen‐down trunk
I hope you have someone to hold in the night
As they smiled
But the glint in their eye said it all
They slipped toward the house with looks held together; aloof
You slipped me your note and I smiled
Let me look for your boots
She picked up her lavender dress and her boots
As he took up his black shirt and grey leather shoes
They excused themselves kindly and meandered away
Into the house where I'd spent my younger days
They slipped toward the house with looks held together
Aloof
You slipped me your note and I smiled
Let me look for your boots
I said
"Oh
If only you knew
What has happened since you told me goodbye
And how many others were worried that night
If only you knew
That is why I cannot confide"
