a long long time ago <br />i agree with you <br />is a long long time ago <br />things perish <br />and those fragile like porcelain <br />shatter into negligible pieces <br />and on the ground <br />everything may cover and conceal <br />like the grass <br />or the dust or even a heap of leaves <br />and i <br />on this day of our meeting may also pretend <br />that those of the past <br />are of the past <br />and shall no more arise and be ghosts that shall <br />haunt me <br />but no, you are face to face with me and we do not mention <br />the word about it <br />yet the lines of our thoughts show <br />on the eyebrows <br />and they speak about the pain <br />the broken piece <br />staying like a thorn, a fish bone, <br />it is still refusing to leave <br />and you are scratching it <br />wanting for cure<br /><br />RIC S.
