Bow

Affording the luxury of our feelings
Putting things in a storage unit

Forgetting time and moving
In out in out up down
I don’t call her
Because she’s too dark

It’s not a strength of personality clash
It’s the light that I’m seeking
Bright at the top of the hill
I can see it in the distance
Coming toward me
But away from you

I have a better chance
At witnessing the second coming

Now marks the time definitively
Without your sound
And the evidence of you
Is all around

Why does it have to be over?
It’s so final

My sad face
Looking a people in cars
Makes you wonder if they know

My body is getting quieter
This marks the beginning of a new era

And although I’ve cleaned up shop
Picked up the pieces
Collected my feathers

It still feels like
The top’s been ripped off

Me attempting to tie
A pretty bow on everything
Even darkness

Weeks

It’s not my intent
To leave you
Hopelessly cornered
But to remind you
Of the friend
You haven’t been
The world around us
Is constantly changing
But we can stay the same
There are many more
Years to come
I am not the one
To be left in the dust
I am not the one
To live on broken trust
You are not the one
To go above and beyond
You have not been singing
Our usual song
One thing matters
When another thing doesn’t
People come and go
Life begins to make sense
We learn how to
Go the distance
After we’ve grown
Older than our legs
Know how to take us
Many trials will
Try to break us
What we have no control
Of is the least worrisome
Of all if we
Are here in ways
For one another that we
We know somehow
To be but if we cannot
Then we have chosen
A different route
We only have
Four thousand weeks
