Verse: Conquests

i see you
compiling an index
of names

pushing
the night aside
like a stranger

denying
even heaven
a home in your heart

and as you
go forth
confident in your stride

i ask
only this
of you

do not pass me
without so much
as a goodbye

at least
will you let me
introduce myself

before
you dismiss me
with a shiver
of recognition.
