One Poem by Ed Ahern

 



The Recognition


She was tangentially met,

her manner suggesting

a life carefully lived,

her body still lissome,

subsiding into thin,

her cautious expression

hinting of past hurt,

and in almost wordless

encounter I wondered

if in another lifeline

we might be lovers.




Ed Ahern resumed writing after forty odd years in foreign intelligence and international sales. He’s had over 450 stories and poems published so far, and nine books. Ed works the other side of writing at Bewildering Stories where he manages a posse of eight review editors, and as lead editor at Scribes Microfiction.
