The Goddess Becomes a Ghost by Scott Thomas Outlar

I used to imagine
that dancing with you
around a ballroom,
hand in hand,
might one day bring
the greatest pleasure
I’ve ever received.

But another man
had other plans,
and now
this distance between us,
sadly,
has become more vast
than even my imagination
can bridge.
