Strange Meeting by Mari

Years have passed
I have seen you on screen
and in the spotlight
But never again like the day we met
Never so fragile and uncertain
Never so unfamiliar and humble
I didn’t know you then
And you don’t know me yet

When I think of it
our meeting was kind of illusory
and in my mind it's like we never met at all
My skin knows
The brand is nowhere to be seen, but it’s there
deep beneath the surface
The mark tells the story
of a strawberry dish in a foreign city
A night where music needed no instrument.

(In response to Wilfred Owen's "Strange Meeting".)
