Afterlife
I was convinced it would work this time.
Why, simply because I believed what she said.
Clearing away all the things, I found another
note she wrote:
I want to love you every day and every night
and treat you right.
Is this love I am feeling?
Yes, I know now.
I threw my coins on your table.
We'll be together with a roof
right over our heads
and share the same shelter.
She wrote that in the beginning of our affair.
She gambled too. We both lost, apparently.
A few days after she left, I called her.
"How are you?"
She sounded like a plant.
Hibernating, sheltered in the milieu
she had tried to escape.
I doubt whether I will ever see her again.
