PAD 04/05/10

Day five of the Poem a Day Challenge.  Prompt:  "too much information"

ENCOUNTERS LIKE THAT


a mystery even to him
his life with her
the one thing
he'd meant to do right
how could he tell her
too much information
and she'd fall dead
oh god she would
he'd have to turn his back to bear it
look instead at the silent barn
with gaping holes for doors
humans aren't made
for encounters like that
