A Visit

My steps are light
Downstairs
  softly, silently
I have nothing to carry
I'm just following you two
  don't know where
  but we are in a hurry

A dim ray of light
  slides across your face
You are as beautiful
  as I remember
     even though
     I don't know you now

I recognise
  the scent of the corridor
Dusky, still I know
  I've been here before
     I simply can't recall

It's a warm night

We are not in the north

We sit on an outside table

The city is crowded
  so I know it is not my hometown

We are all relieved
  you still hold her
  in your arms
  protectively
