i never met you in that diner
under the bridge by the liquor store
or the midnight bus that passed
seven starbucks in a row
that face of yours made me cry
too many times i'm ashamed to say
because the glow of grace
the gift of love was too deep inside
for me to ever grasp
i was always lost on the other side
of the atlantic weeping over
your sweet prose like rose thorns
ripping my heart apart
i always knew you were a star
that i could only stare in wonder at
my own words just pale shadows
cast upon the dirty sidewalk outside
that warm diner where you ate
hash browns as if every time was always
the first time and now that i know
you've moved uptown
i still like to drop by that diner
and watch the other customers
talk and drink coffee, and spill ketchup
on the formica or their ripped jeans
but deep inside me there's a yearning
that still burns, that's still visible
by the afterglow of your soul in the
yellow acid luminescence embracing
all the other lives that you've left
behind that will never forget you
or the hash browns that i never
got to share with you.

sigh ... that was especially wonderful,
even better because it's so true.
