today
i sat on a park bench
looking at the Rhine
at dusk
listening to a tango
about obsession
grateful
for the inner peace i had
at the moment
caressing it carefully
however brief
it was
lasting as long as
the dusk
geographically
between my dying father
and my pregnant sister
between the woman i love
and the mother i abandoned
between my distant brother
and my best friend
sun has gone
before the song ended
and i got up
realizing the moment
has long escaped
i needed to get ready
traveling again
tomorrow
