I Fell For

The big gesture

talk of friendship

clandestine hand offering
shakes in the dark

all the phone calls

sand-scrawled letters

such blue sky eyes

your worn chair in shadows

all the comings

goings

all the understandings

misunderstandings

over all the miles

mixed up years

slanted horizons

various pets, spouses

I bought it all
my head in the dream sands
with a hand full

of small change
