Once

We were here once
Barely long enough to leave a trace

Smudged prints, where we pressed our fingertips to touch
Cool glass, warm earth

Faint tracks, where we made our way
They disappear at the place where we crossed the line

A small stain, from something left a bit too long
The bright red scar, where I landed too hard

We were here once
Barely long enough to leave a trace
Just long enough to find what you were looking for
