the things you said at the time seem faraway
life in another universe I could say
no way to reverse the charge and start again
all votes are in and counted long ago; I'm
knowing the outcome now too well
if only words were an ocean swell
that comes and goes and breaks not always hard
returning to the shore at the end of days
who are we now, that former shores seem vague
or rather, dissolved or continents sunk below
this overcast day
where the rain blows in then disappears
like some forgotten phrase.
