i was once and
walking upon a road
(therein: pavement and stones and cracks
for grass to hide)
upon which twice perhaps
feet of you lifted and came down
(this is walking)
and there was Sun, yes
though not the same for it is of
Different Times we stood in the same
Place.
and you: perhaps scratched your head whereas
i my nose whereas
and i think that maybe and i think if
we somehow stood in the same Place and
brought our two Times to touch;
we could be one (two halves of a whole)
and,
This (i think is) why my blood quickens
(rushedrushesrushing) at times inexplicably
for you and i have been here together all at Once;
(though different Onces).

---------

i was giving birth to
light and love and song
until he came with ravenous hands
and now
a candle burns low and goes out
a girl looks at a boy and nothing changes
a thin dissonant melody tries to be heard and fades away
and fades away
and fades away
and fades away

shall i merely
i knew Feel
this i loved
way
you but i didn't always or ?

that's why i spoke (in
parenthesis)
with
...an ellipsis...or two.

i knew you would rhyme with me
after all you
did one rose will belatedly
expound upon care though
you the withering life
and hid it so
cry a petal
well
?
