1341

it wasn’t there for a minute

and a great fear took root

long veined in blue

I didn’t believe when you said

we were moving to a new place

I thought we were staying

when you said I won’t be going

then I felt we were moving

and the valley split

down

the middle

I saw that black road

stretched the distance

and who was turning into who

divided and gone

I traced the sun with my eyes

afterwards all I could see

bright flowers
