There were things he didn’t talk about
-God, the wife, all he had to lose-
that day in the park
it was understood
as he first took my hand
while a mute swan floated by.

I wanted to kid him
that I had a friend in hiding
and I had cued that swan.

The words never came though
nor the cuddling
or sweet, secret laughter.

How was I to grasp
when he first took my hand
that not all was understood?
How was I to realize
he’d mimic the swanky swan
and in procession, pass right on?
