“Remorse doesn’t play well with others.”

wistful is a nametag best worn crumpled
with corners bent
haven’t we met some other springtime
i lost my view; blocked by you and
wistful — a business card with
tiny type no reading glasses
year-long conversations erased by
a few sentences with misplaced commas —
if only i could type
wistful, yes, is a well-penned email
forever draft and never sent
an explanation a what was meant
an almost maybe would be read.
wistfully.
