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.
