He exploded into her life without warning.
An exclamation mark of a man who came and went
in a flurry of words that meant little to her, but
which she analyzed – endlessly.
Mouthing phrases that had rested briefly on his lips
before he had gone, leaving them sailing through the air
to be entangled in the web of her restless mind.
Hanging on with threads of uncertainty that one day,
they might reveal to her what lay behind
the question mark in his eyes.
