Serendiptity

Erren Geraud Kelly

Third time. You appear
Out of my wishes at the
Food truck
A genie, straight out of a monk
Tune
You are as magical as a centerfold
I wanted to run my fingers through
Your hair
Your voice, soothing as a callas
Aria
You are divine, you are oblivion
You are the football pulled away from
Me
You said you “lost” my email
I’m thinking “a likely story,”
But I take your word for it
And give you a different email address
Hoping a message will come
From you
Like an oasis I see in a desert


Good things come in threes
If it’s the third time,
It was meant to be
Or at least god will be kind enough
To give me amnesia

So I can forget about you…
