P

I knew her once,
Pressed against my sweater,
I knew her once,
Laughing at my silence.

I knew little,
Her mind wavered,
I knew little,
Distance gained velocity.

I know her now,
Unbothered and cold,
I know her now,
Love's little I-don't-care game.

I'll know her tomorrow,
In the confines of
Another city unflinched,
By misled pasts, our past.
