this year

traveling this gravel road
has made me weary
I chose this road
the highway looked clearer
but I thought this one lead to you.

This year
Its made clear
The season is over
past another
and well into the next
I am still wearing mittens
in the heat of summer

dying is painful
walking away is worse
its when you get super glue on your fingers
and press them together
then pull them apart.
the skin breaks and pulls away
I always hated that

I'm no poet
but I love you

you are a ghost i cannot grasp
a past that won't stick
a future that doesn't exist.

I want to say something profound
something no one has said
If I did,
would that make you change your mind?
