what if we decide
to go a day early
or that a day early
isn't early enough
from a coincidental
meeting at the curb
to an intentional
sought out contact
with table and chairs
from morning light
to best lit faces in
dim bulbs and candles
what if we decide
to throw it all away
every version we've
indulged ourselves in
and just say fuck it
toss a coin and let it
land on come what may
because no matter if
it's nearing Halloween
or falling on some other
significant date and time
all the signs we've known
all of them we've cherished
are ornaments to this
what's said between us
just remnants of our hope
that we crave on cold
Sunday nights in January
