Adrift

Time drifted 
Through a dark and
		familiar window!

You can spend days
		gazing out this window.

The wind is scattered
		while it picks itself up.

The days don't seem to matter
		as our souls do an old, familiar somersault.

Memory is an excuse to smile.
So wait awhile,
		and remember the tree in the yard
		you jumped for in the sun.

It is the dark matter that matters
It is our dark windows that shatter
the stars from heat
Our love from a dangling bonnet
A toothless grin
In the dead heat hot love summer of Georgia.
This is time adrift.

No one's commented on this poem. That's how adrift it is.
