(Music: Le rêve d'une note - RIOPY)

It's not a loss of maybe

this no purportedly side-tracked

by truths inherent but disguised

to words half-spoken

shaded

by that will not to lose

some chances alien to faults

catching on freedoms

overburdened

by pasts built into futures overcome

imagined to be empty of constraint

with maybes pinging off each other

and no's purportedly ahead of well-intended action

facing the brevity of life

and the expanse of possible for other

you chose to be forgotten

for a moment

borrowed to find the meaning of a path

and prove that no reflections can be seen

in the elusive presence of another
