Time Can Do So Much
Are you still mine?
Where did you go?
You left without your keys and phone.
You took your breath
and left your bones.
You won’t reply.
Your lips are cold.
(How soon your softness turned to stone.)
Are you still mine?
Where did you go?
Can you reply without your phone?
You’re out of time
and I’m on hold.
But time goes by—
a second’s pass.
It won’t return;
We can’t go back,
but now you live
a different law.
To age and loss
you don’t belong.
Where did you go?
Are you still mine?
My every moment’s lost
to find.
