It Didn't Mean Anything
I saw you-
there on the street
your hand on her face
too intimate a gesture
between colleagues
when I asked, you said
it didn't mean anything
Now, every word you've ever said
lives on in that vacuum
of meaningless anythings
there on the street
your hand on her face
too intimate a gesture
between colleagues
when I asked, you said
it didn't mean anything
Now, every word you've ever said
lives on in that vacuum
of meaningless anythings

Hello there.
I really enjoyed this piece — it was short and impactful, and the brevity shown here is really quite marvellous. I love that the interpretation of the nothing is left entirely in the hands of the reader. That’s a total joy.
Thank you for sharing and welcome to the DU.

Ohhh my.... this penetrates completely and your last line pushed the dagger all the way through.... such a tremendous punch this packs.
Very nicely penned.
