Spies by Linda Stevenson

Spies

You left me these…
suggestions, a generic
trait, hints about the London
Underground, questionable lines
back to back and winding, last century,
a formal photograph highlighting royalty.
Yet nothing of the other kind, no domesticity,
habitual sex or mutual content, no offspring,
rearing, bearing it all on through to final.
Well, different ways of loving, different
runes and circumstance; all fine, they
weave a marvel, obliquely leaving
improbable evidence of touch,
intangible mementos.
