coincidence

[N.A.]

Distant connection,
Illusory closeness.

Against my will, 
I grow numb. 

Hints flickering slight-
of an infolding road.

Keeping my feelings away,
While our dim eyes won’t meet.    

Despite it —

You look more than jolly.
It still makes me feel sick, 
And yet content.

Some meaningless words, 
I can’t control this moment.

The loss passing through me.

You’re gone. 

I move. 

Despite the other feedback I read, I quite like the contradicting emotions of this poem. I think it adds emotional complexity which is great. I do think if you focus your imagery on one specific moment it might make the poem easier to understand and picture. For example if you connect the "hints flickering sight... infolding road" and "dim eyes won't meet" by describing the whole moment of seeing them again, it'll really hit. Good job!!
