Before Chat

If we had met in times before,

We would have been us no more.

We would not have seen each other’s light.

As a black cat in a coal mine at deep midnight

Unnoted, unseen, and out of sight,

Would have better seen than we that night.

The wrong of unknowing that open door,

I wordlessly held for you, told the score.  

 

No you. No I. No we. No more
