I WOULDN’T KNOW…, A POEM BY ANGELA KOSTA

I don’t know if you resemble
lost time,
lost within life’s enchanting mystery,
futilely encountering
silent memories,
desperately embracing absence.

I wouldn’t know if you resemble
the flowing river,
waiting for me on the shore,
without waiting for my arrival.

I wouldn’t know if you resemble
love,
the mad companion of itself—
truly… I wouldn’t know…
