Reminiscene

1

I look at you

What seems so funny is that

I see myself in you.

2

I cannot touch nor feel your face

through my fingertips

Nothing is really wanting of anything

Except perhaps that old glass case

of your photograph

Sending sinews of hope.

3

I’ve thought I’ve learned to bury the past

Again, you came,

Disturbing my complacent breath

Renewing old dreams

At this moment, you live again

in my thoughts.

4

And yet –

What I only see

Is your old photograph!
