The Last Stanza
Saudade
I turn to the lady at my side who appears to be seeing what I saw,
but there is a deep hollow that yawns between us,
and I realize that this landscape means something entirely different to her,
that she is pursuing an alien vision and cares nothing for the profound revelation by which I am elated . . .
All the things that have deeply possessed our souls have been but hints of those-
alluring glimpses,
intimate conversations,
hidden secrets,
unfulfilled promises.
Echoes that faded away just as they caught our ear.
Come back to me.
Linger for just a little while.
