The thoughts of a lover, in retrospect, upon a pivotal moment and phrase.

undefined

I remember how you wept
when I spoke the words
to you. undefined
the role you would play.
it made you walk to the fence
and ask for a dictionary
that you might ferry your heart
to a safe place. an embrace
between lovers destined
and damned. I am here now,
at the fence you built.
where sits the Raven.
and you left a note for me.
"major, yet undefined"
cryptic words before a dance.
deadly words the morning after.
the mourning after.
