Extraordinary

"Extraordinary" is a word
I once used about you.
I admit that vocabulary failed me in the face of
complexity.
You are not
easily harnessed,
much less defined.
"Extraordinary" is a worn hag of a word and
obscenely over-bedded
in place of a broken heart.
Who could have expected
the emergence
of one whose
essence will not be located in the O.E.D.?
Better luck locating the mystery of the
human soul
on a sunny summer afternoon,
feet propped up
on a table,
caught by surprise.
