I don't know how long
I can do this, he said
I think the universe
has different plans
for me
& we sat there in silence
& I thought to myself
that this is the thing
we all come to
& this is the thing
we all fight
& if we are lucky
enough to lose,
our lives
become beautiful
with mystery
again
& I sat there silent
because that is not
something
that can be said

ReplyDeletei've been thinking about that alot lately :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice.
ReplyDeletepoetry like this makes me want to sit and soak and sit and soak some more. but then when I try and do it, I get antsy, like there should be something else. I'm just not satisfied unless I'm doing dishes too.
