ON GRAND
As I was walking along Grand
I passed a person, caught glancing back at me
For only a moment.
Long enough to see her eyes
As they settled in insecurity
On the lines of my face – as mine did her’s.
And I noticed how they’d deepened.
And I wondered who she was.
On Grand I glimpsed a person
That I’d known for twenty years
Yet passed her by in silence.
As time makes acquaintances of souls forever bound.
As I made my way down Grand
I walked through the shadow
Of a woman growing older
A woman not so certain
A woman with eyes uneasy
The eyes of my echo
In my reflection in the window
Of a shop I passed on Grand.
- Heather Killough-Walden
