The Latest Edition
Remember the halls
where we ran
just to be ourselves?
Where we chased shadows
through words poetic?
And how you talked slow
to make phrases more dramatic?
We went from top to bottom
and surprisingly ended up
in the library.
Your heart beat fast
reverberating
off the shelves
and over me.
You were supposed to kiss me
but I should have known better.
You left me standing
in the history section.
The latest edition
to weather the worms of time.
