No More Balloons
So this our time
Our time to know the unknowable
But time stopped
with this dagger to the heart
delivered from a stranger's lips
How long knowing takes
with numbed minds
and shattered thoughts
You tore a gash in time
stranding us in pain
you exchanged for your own
Future unreachable
Past unchangeable
when
on the breath of a balloon
you gave your life away
