remnants of eros in the rain

                      “

 … I love you more,

I don’t know what I knew before”
                        –Feist
today as I drunkenly negotiated
the traffic the rain the tangles
of public and private narratives
I heard a song on the radio
that made me think of you again
and your smile when you heard
the same song once before you left
and you noticed a connection
although ephemeral between us
