Again and in between when we converge,
the moment drifts into the distance with the crows,
cawing over breakfast litter in the parking lot
as white-hot time above begins to burn
away the morning dew. I make my bed
with only the necessary folds, let an hour pass
before drinking coffee to avoid an afternoon crash,
and scroll through social media. After an hour,
I re-watch a show through someone else's tears
and laughter while I sip the coffee cold. Then
when it's time to clean, I vacuum, water a prayer
into the rotting bonsai, do the laundry,
dust the furniture but forget the fan as it spins
for another day, another day like each a poem forgotten if you cut 'for' the line can be read two ways
that the baseboard keeps, forever I'm a little confused by 'baseboard'. Same as getting lost under a bed?
unseen by the lover, lost. it exists for. lost referring to poem, lover and the days a they tick on by. alternatively, - lost.
Velasco,
I enjoyed this very much. I made some suggestions at the end for your consideration.
Take care,
steve
