with the weight of day
hanging heavy in veins
on a tuesday noon
look but don't see
smell but don't touch
smile but don't laugh
they call it success
… what's that?
i lost it
the moment
has
passed …
the sunlight divides you
from those early thoughts
to the next grey cloud
just past your view
just open the bottle
the next sure thing
hinging on hope
didn't work for you
remember that time
laying bare in the grass?
a lifetime is asking
for you to return
