highlands

However she was going to learn very soon that her drastic decision was not so much the fruit of resentment as of nostalgia.
-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Far from the thing itself
it gets to be just what it was
and not shrouded in all these heavy clothes
wet wool bathing suits get shed
and left on the beach.
Yes, he was in love with her, not me.
Yes, there is all this
S P A C E
around it now.
Now it is no more and no less
than it was.
Two souls
in different fish bowls
but not fighting fish.
