Compass
Could we possibly
return to unsown seeds
washed and unburdened
shining in the sun?
So much time on the clock now.
I feel it vibrating
inside my everywhere.
We overlapped.
We pulled away.
How many moments
I called for you!
Never a chance
was mine to have
I thought.
No,
I never knew.
The waiting became
a lovely kind of pain
I caressed and cradled it
like a fallen baby bird
until one day
I let go.
Oh but
my feelings are
a jumbled design
Like a practiced surgeon
sending in a scope
trying to decipher
the parts
Pass me the scalpel
Will it hurt?
Cutting along that old scar
Going in
deep.
