If You Are Lucky by Michelle McGrane | Poems Rethabile Likes If You Are Lucky by Michelle McGrane If you are lucky you will carry one night with you for the rest of your life, a night like no other. You won't see it coming. Forget the day, the year. It will arrive uninvoked, an astrological anomaly. You will remember how every cell in your body knew him, this stranger, how you held your breath, the way you searched his face. This is how such evenings begin.
