In the isle stands the have not yets.

Have not yet begun, beget, not yet tangled in longing or regret.

Meandering around slow, but with purpose. Finding hope in stolen glances and imagined exchanges which they reframe from coincidence to calculated romance.

They've not yet, but would bet, yet hesitate,
arrested by negative assumption.

Another day championing stalwart isolation and self recrimination.

Who would-a, could-a, should-a, but never did.
