It happened on a bus
there was standing room only
it was perfectly normal in London
at the stops we jostled to get off
a young woman with black hair
and green eyes stood before me
our eyes met briefly and she smiled
I smiled back and then the bus stopped
she got off and I never saw her again
but we recognised each other
from another life
She was beautiful
I remember her clothes
her fragrance
and her earrings
