Don’t take me so seriously –
I never joke.
. . . . . .
I wish I could remain on this
side of the calendar.

You don’t know what you are missing.
You don’t even know what you have.
You only know what you have lost.
. . . . . .
This moment in time
is razor-sharp: will leave you bleeding
through memories.
. . . . . .
Unanswered question
or unquestioned answer?
– I am lost either way.
