When We Come
to A Fork In the Road
M.L.R.

don´t ask me to determine
where the pieces fall
how the pieces fit
of what used to be
our relationship

let them fall where they may
fit how they may or not fit
at the end of the year
at the end of the day

when the way ends or divides
so be it

if we must proceed
along separate ways
like together arriving
at a fork in the road
and dividing like the road divides

not at all long ago
her thighs used to open
used to divide
like a fork in the road

us two to come and to go together
