Spring Cleaning For Another Time - 3-13-18
If this were then I’d draw the line.
I don’t say it, obviously,
I mean it inside.
If this were then I’d
break the glass with my
Burning & rage,
Maybe.
Glass underfoot
I wonder if I’d feel it
I wonder would it hurt
The way you do
If only for an instant.
I guess not,
I guess I don’t know
Nothing
What should I know
I’ve got words and scars
Paint and an old ache but
Dusted with truth,
Aged with honesty
So what do I know
Except that
If this were then it’d be new
And tender
And oh-so fresh
Open windows,
3 20 18
But
Not this year,
Not this clean.
Years from now,
Or minutes, really;
Search your shelves, please
I’ll be there
Cobwebs and dust
Will you do me a favor?
Will you please
Brush it off?
