Nibbling On Tuesday


through the night
I pretend that
I do not miss you
and lay awake
quietly nibbling on Tuesday
as I desperately try
to live in this moment
but my mind wanders
I feel way too much
and can not forget
even though I pray to
for every face I see
in crowds becomes yours
my heart jumps
in that possibility
only to know disappointment
and one year to fifty
does not bring me
any closer to
any settling of spirit
time has been gentle
so I have no fear of
the creeping of years
as waist muscle sags
the heart strengthens
and I tend to learn
things the hard way
here in the darkness
heavy sheets of Tuesday
miss where now the day
sadly gives way
to other dreams


just some words cut from
the diary of my heart

hits home once again Helen.
hugging you, Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
