By my balcony

A moment in time,
A touch of your hand
A side smile.
Your eyes gaze back dreamily into the distance
On my balcony.

Another time another place
Another man another place
A different life A different face
All a distant memory
History

Ancient History
What matters it now (to me)?
when you are here

On my balcony.

SJ came today - and there she lingered by the back balcony next to the laundry. She seemed mesmerized by the view for some reason. I asked whether she liked me and she replied - I like your place more in that cavalier tone of hers. I affected scorn at her jest but secretly I hoped that she could stay longer.
