NO NEED FOR AN ENCORE

They are all passing me by now,
every glance above infinity
every braid's bright tail.

The realm closes up like water.
Was I ever known?
Did we meet in a fog,
was even the sunlight
a fog burning off?

They never answer.
Only a strange smile
far from flirtation's
shadow, where I go
to paddle the empty boat.
