FOLLY
“Knowing was a temptation. What you don’t know, won’t tempt you.”
Margaret Atwood
Why did I come?
Knowing he would be here.
The moment our hands touched
I felt the pull
the immediate desire
to throw myself
into his arms
To snuggle into an embrace
To capture the scent
that is uniquely
him
Did he feel it, did he remember?
His eyes, his smile,
said that he did
The pressure of his touch
said that he did
His hesitancy
to let go
Wait, Wait!
Remember
the anguish,
Remember
the pain, the tears,
the gut-wrenching grief
Remember the afterward
Know
Succumbing is
pure folly
