Love arriving, love departing
- promises
that can't be redeemed.

We learn and we relearn
lessons
that can't be used.

Love surprising, love subduing
- a gift
that can't be bought.

We find and we lose
the reasons
to begin love again somehow.

Between us, beyond us
meanings
that can't be explained.

The mirror refuses the image.
No thing visible in it.

The mind refuses the memory.
No thing available to recollect.
