There are so many odd coincidences lately, I don’t know what to think, such as the posting of the photos from the gas line installation in the town I cover, the sudden appearance of her art at a time when I started posting mine, and then last night, I thought I actually saw her on the street when I was covering an event, but only got a glimpse of the figure, who had the same build, seemed to dress the same, only to learn later the Joey D, with whom she works, also has ties in my town.
I was too far away to be sure it was her, although this woman – whomever she was – kept looking in my direction as if concerned about me.
Then, this person crossed in the middle of the street rather than at the cross walk, as it trying to avoid me – odd behavior, I thought.
Yet as odd as it seems, I saw no reason for her to be down there, so, I am assuming this is just one more coincidence, someone who looks and acts like her, but it not her, and has nothing to do with anything. Although at the same time, someone with an iPad has been pursing my poetry a lot over the last few days, and I can’t help thinking it may have been her.
But why bother -- especially if she has found another lover to write love poems to, moving on to find a new and positive life – or someone she wants to be with. I get the impression she is still trying to convince him.
It is clear that she is using her poetry to send a message to someone; it is unclear as to whom that person is.
From the last few poems, she seems to indicate she had fallen in love with someone new, someone – if the poem can be taken at face value – she has come to trust.
How much is wishful thinking, it’s hard to tell. I wish her luck.
