Imaginings 3
When Angel Ivo Garcia
pointed to the girl sitting alone
at a table across the square
on the island of Samos
and said to me, she could be the one
and you will never know,
I stood up, left him
with his bottle of retsina,
his tales of loss and grief,
his unquenched lust,
and walked over to her,
hand in hand with destiny,
never looking back.
