Dashed

I suppose your whispers
were merely echoes of that
which you deemed I’d wish to hear.

The season of them
was no more than Mrs. Dash
on green tomatoes.

Your promises
had the strength of
tungsten wire
stretched across
the gateway.

I suppose
I was merely naive
within my hope
of surety,

but then
haven’t I always
based my hope
on dreams.
Isn’t that why
you stay
those intermittent intervals?

(not my fate,
merely considering
what happens to many)

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
