The Oracle On Seward Street

I noticed you there
watching me
our eyes met
and you didn't look away
you were just peering at me
I looked away
I could feel your gaze 
I looked back
our eyes met again
your gaze was a vast ocean
a bright surface and an infinite depth
you were searching 
some remnant of the past
you were saddened I guess
yet there was an absolute 
in your expression
an unconditional insight
a confident resolution
and a triumphant smile emerged
what victory had attained? 
I asked your name
but you didn't answer
and took my hand
ran your fingers through my hair
and from your mouth
the words spoken clear
you have not arrived here
within this time and place
of all possible states
to question what is
when you haven't encountered
why it is
when you live for only I
what good could you provide?
then you brought your lips
to my onyx earring
my name is stillness
you whispered
then you walked away
I tried to chase you
called your name
confessed my affection
but alas!
you were fading!
my heart danced and churned
inside it sprang!
like a ball of lightning!
I had to save you
to bring you back here
wait, I love you!
and at the corner store
around the red bricks 
covered in climbing ivy
I ran as fast as I could
around the corner
but you were no longer there.
