"...chance favours only the prepared mind" (Louis Pasteur)
Redshift
like two galaxies
drift away from each other
that's the way we are
drift away from each other

but jotted down left-handed

nor did her well-considered statements
at the meeting.
Later,

dinner's main course
made clear
she wouldn't merely
open up
her Flemish heart.

rain
waiting for you
at the seaside
on a grey November evening
cold rain
is wetting my skin
there's no other place
where I wanna be
