Wham

Speeding towards fifty

Trying really hard
to avoid patterns
from my past

Half-read Mars & Venus
learning how to listen
without calls to action
talking through feelings
listening to her needs

Opted for commitment

Then - WHAM - out of the blue
live across the wires
across the ocean

She’s got another playmate
so I’m on my own again

She’s connected with her birthplace
enchanted by its spell
found a worthy playmate

so I’m on my own again
