Was A Friend |
| You’ve been so kind |
| I know, I know |
| So why did I hurt you? |
| I didn’t mean to hurt you |
| But I’ll- |
| Funny kind of greeting, not exactly hostile |
| Not exactly facing, not exactly turning away |
| Not exactly frowning, not exactly smiling |
| Lurking by the door |
| Without a sign of wanting to move |
| Though hardly friendly, not an angry gesture |
| Did it make. |
| Just quite unnerving |
| It’s been a long time |
| I almost forgot were we buried the hatchet |
| «Bin a long time no see», (pidgin English |
| Native to none). |
| After several silences |
| A cautious head nod. |
| This could take forever |
| Did it want to come for a dig? |
| It did |
| Not answer. |
| I was feeling restless at the door |
| Ashamed of my fears. |
| Where WAS the hatchet? |
| Suddenly was gone. |
| I woke up |
| Feeling stupid. |
| No-one else awake |
| Though dawn was only minutes away |
| Quietly I rose to fill the morning pee pot |
| What a silly dream |
| Not like what really would have occurred |
| Old wounds are healing |
| Faded scars are painless — just an itch |
| We are forgiven |
| It’s been a long time |
