I thought I saw you today…
It was a glimpse of a coat tail
and a brown leather shoe…
something about the way
the foot in the shoe leaned
in towards the left before stepping
down on the ground …
I was shocked at the pain I felt,
looking at that shoe for that
second… thinking that your foot
was in it, and attached to that
foot was you…
all of you, who was so much more
than brown leather shoes and coats…
indeed you were also about pants
and shirts… and scarves and hats …
and watches and aftershave too!
This is very touching...keen observation of someone clearly loved who left a profound mark. I think your reader will know exactly what you mean... a fleeting glimpse of an attribute of a loved one on someone else brings intensity, and disappointment, and a sense of loss, and reminiscence. t x
