Missing, or How To Write A Love Poem

                         When You Are Not In Love.

Pull in the empty net. I’ve been missing you

for years. We passed

and passed each other in this murky pond

too many times. We never

quite touched. Never quite saw each other

through thick water, thought

each was just a glimpse of ourselves. We drank  

the same air, but tasted

difference. Have you been caught? Are you

sinking? Are we still drowning?
