Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale
Listen to poem:
Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale
David J Walker
She didn’t ask for them back
The days
The nights
The afternoons alone
In that farmer's field
And what would it yield
But an emptiness
A nothingness to be filled
in the blank spaces we once
Occupied in the closeness
Of lovers in the same places
Of a shared time
and a certain oneness
And perhaps it’s all we
Will ever have to know
That it was real
In a once upon a time
Fairy tale
