Apart

And when do these empty minutes
Become gifted tomorrows

Does the love from a crooked smile
Coagulate into a joyful tear

Can the touch from a veritable want
Blend into reformed breaths of a tilted gratitude

What purpose would ultimatums serve,
If it only knew what should not
Be taken for granted

When do these empty minutes
Become gifted tomorrows

For I count on the arms of postulated solitude
To breathe into me

To breathe into me

These empty minutes
