Time and All the Other Lies I Could Ask
(New PR22)
-To Christina
Time lurks:
The assassin
Always in the background
And time hurts when you hear
“She died last year”
And then the cruel mind wanders to this:
She didn’t know then that you loved her
And you think to the circumstances of it:
The unwinnable whichever never
And you can only wipe your eyes
And your only hope is turn to famous
Time that heals all wounds
When all the time it was time that caused
This pain–time and all the other lies
I could ask
When will it ever end
But then again I’m invoking time:
When will I ever learn?
The Pull of Tides
(PR37)
-To Rachel
I don’t know how that works
The push
The pull of tides
But yes it all comes back to water
A vast body of water which
Though salty too
Is too big a metaphor for tears
