Farewell

One word

Hear

Taste

See

The depths of a single tantalizing moment


Carry the weight

Of what you said

So seductively

In past days


My ear burns

For you

To remind me and

Beguile a memory


Pause

Consider

This is not what I imagined it to be

This burning flame


And with a simple

Moment of doubt

I wave a languid hand and whisper

‘Farewell’
