Isabelle

another time, in
another universe		

when you were supposed to be born
but then you weren't		

when I was overwhelmed you were here
and then you weren't

my words won't breed whispers
your name won't bear notes and

while the medic carried clean machines 	
my body kept on breathing					

					 a dead tiger

maybe it is not about another time
maybe it is just not meant to be 

and past the sound of rain, it sounds 
another universe.
