i.
Hello, good morning, greetings to you,
hey, welcome, salutations,
I don’t care
how you say it,
just please whisper something,
something,
into my ear so that
my mind will be able to unbind itself
undo the knots,
realize that you’re still there,
that you’re still here
beside me
because, I am loyal, I promise,
but I am human
and the human mind strays
and the human mind fears
and the human mind doubts
more than it should
and it knows that,
but it does not care.
ii.
is there any chance
is there any possibility
is there any likelihood
that love
exists
at such a time or place,
or does it belong in children’s bedtime stories,
with princes and white stallions,
with royalty from rags,
with impossible dreams
that often end with
happily ever after?
Stories that end with happily ever after
are stories that just have not finished yet.
iii.
do you ever hate me?
I lack in the ability to have that knowledge,
for I do not believe you do,
but once in a while,
an oak does wish that the bluebird would leave her alone,
that the squirrel would find another sanctuary.
But they never do,
because they love her so dearly,
because her long limbs give them
the comfort,
the security,
the pleasure
that they require.
But as every tree grows,
she dies,
and the lowest creatures of mother earth
swallow those beautiful limbs
that the most higher creatures request.
And yet the world spins on.
iv.
perhaps you regret it already.
maybe,
you read through our past conversation
and wish it had never happened,
wish it was just how it had been before.
But it is not,
and I prefer it this way.
I pray that
you do not pray that
it will be over soon,
for I am not over.
And nor are you.
But the day is,
and with each dawn
comes death’s sunset.
