Richard Walker

To a Colleague

Visible to anyone in the world

I was in that exact same room where we met the last time

Before I caught the shuttle bus.

I can pretty well remember which of those round tables we sat at

I hope I shook your hand, not sure. At any rate I'd like to think I did.

The email shook my heart. The one they send round, thus, the subject line

A. Colleague

I didn't just hear your voice whenever I went there again, in that room

But often in dreams, like thus 'Hello Richard", heard from the next room along

Today I wasn't so sure which was the last table we sat at together.

Please don't forget me.
