Never will you (Day 1414)



Never will you be

disincluded   elided 

an awkward silence 

in a conversation 

overheard in a library 

or a crowded cafe


Never will you be

an empty page in 

a quiet little memoir

much lauded but

seldom read  a song 

no one requests  or 

a box of photgraphs

left by the roadside

because you will 


Never be a source of 

concern or more than 

a little regret  & if I do 

forget you  it will be 

because my mind has 

betrayed me in that 

way you had of leaving 

me  with everything  

except air to breathe 

& my happiest years
