This is a poem about separation and divorce.

/

They glance towards each other bitterly 

And turn their backs.

Years later they will wonder

From where did they bring these childish antics?

The papers get signed and the magistrate stamps

The legal obligation has dissolved

And so has the need to tolerate each other.

/

Years later they might meet

On the railway station like strangers.

She might see him in a crowd

And quickly avert her eyes

From a past that wasn’t handled well.

He might wish to go to her 

And apologize. 

I wonder if they will have matured enough

To have a conversation 

And realize that parting

Didn’t mean snipping every single connection.
