Something in the Air Maybe

Something in the Air Maybe

I don’t know what made me think

of you today ..

Maybe it was something about

the way those first few raindrops

made patterns on the pavement

as they fell ..

Or maybe, they just reminded me

of your tears ..

Which unlike the scent of wild figs

hung in the air for days

and sweetly so, the day we parted ..

After all,

it has been almost three whole

seasons now ..

But hey, who’s counting

whatever the case might be, I sense

there is something in the air maybe ..
