Click herecircumstance has the knack
to contrive to bring us back
to where we console ourselves
amongst the ruins of our dreary lives
we were young then
our bodies flexible and our skins fresh
we delighted in our nakedness
and after the party we ran down to the pool
you danced with a low hip gait
your breasts had the fullness of youth
and the scrub of your hair had the vigour of spring growth
the shape of your clitoris fresh on my tongue
but now we are older and walk
carrying the weight of our years
the pool has been drained and fenced
the area is tinged with decay
we have children, sex is left unmentioned
we talk about old friends
as if they are no longer alive
and some of them aren't
about our ambitions and where it all went wrong
I think of how once you moved beneath me
but maybe you didn't
we were different people then
we will walk to the road
say what a pleasant surprise its been
you'll catch a bus and I'll opt for a drink
one less memory, one less regret

twelveooneabout 13 years agoI've given 5's for a lot less, wish the first two lines were better, some lines rather stock, nothing cliched that sticks in your face.
as if they are no longer alive
and some of them aren't - and some of them are no longer here? and some aren't...? line you have, doesn't quite wok for me.
Maria2394about 15 years agoI love the story, but it seems uncomfortable in the form you have it in. Maybe it's just me,but I did enjoy reading it.I wish there was a score thing closer to 90....
