~
went down by the house you used to live in
all the windows had the same curtains
the one where your bedroom was was open
for a moment
draped in white
your invisible hands
wave
~
~
if i put each of these days
end to end
how many times around the world
would they go?
~
no matter what
yes
the only choice
~
living in the peace
so many would die for
i walk the dogs
old growth
cross clear brooks
splash for drinks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sometimes this sense of failure
is all I’ll ever be
sometimes that loneliness
is all I’ll ever see
~
it’s the price for being true
it’s the cost of no surrender
the double helixed blessing
of being me
~
maybe tomorrow
the courage will come
all that ever was –
undone
