Are You Going to Stay? (Thomas Meyer)

 What was it I was going to say?

Slipped away probably because

it needn’t be said. At that edge

almost not knowing but second

guessing the gain, loss, or effect

of an otherwise hesitant remark.

Slant of light on a brass box. The way

a passing thought knots the heart.

There’s nothing, nothing to say.
