Past Midnight
A girl I met near Moscow
I vaguely remember fancying
had her birthday today.
Her profile picture had
a blue-and-yellow flag
flying beneath her face.
When we met, we were teens:
every day it felt
like the world was ending.
Now we're seas apart
as we have been, for a while,
and the chimes are silent:
the feeling's given way
to an incessant knowing.

and Dad no longer rides his bike out on the road.
