A Flat in A Nowhere

The stars
and
the thruway
and
the darkness that surrounds otherwise
remind me of our wonderful once.

A one time
that
I had with you
that
was defined by the ecstasy of nostalgia,
holding you when we both knew you didn't need to be held.

Our eyes wandered
but
our fingers brushed and stayed
but
our fingers still fell to their own sides
later in the night, and the moment was only the moment.
