i was exact this morning. fifty-five cents in change, heart clung to pocket in a leaden despair never here, never there-- never across the shore, like i'd hoped. and i didn't know. the calender never changes. the pages never turn. the year is never over but this year's love is like a dishtowel, binding, binding my hands to a promise across a heart i swore i could never reach a day i swore would never come a light i swore i'd never see a response so calculating i'd swear it came from someone else (was it something i said?) this year was the year i'd fall in love. encircled in black, the calendar's even marked. and then. i said nothing at all. because your eyes flew over mine the way pelicans do before a rain and your heart stumbled over mine the way angels stumble over sin. and nothing here fits but i promise. i'll be better this year. |
