I am grateful that the worst is over
and the last apparent
parting shot
in a summer in which
I have felt
like a punching bag
a nagging bother
who is clever and elusive
she is struggling with
the concept of time
when I subscribe to the rolling Stone theory
time is on my side
meaning the more
distance
between The heat of Summer
and the more welcome the cool rains
will feel when fall arrives perhaps
it is all over
I am forgotten and I see only smoke
where there was no fire
time too valuable to waste
and that we can help but waste it
soothing the wounds
we can’t get to heal any other way
I kept thinking this time next year
she will have
forgotten me entirely
though I won’t forget
her
you never forget the
tornado
that hits your house with you inside it
or the amazing yet as it turns out pretty careless kiss
behind the darkness
and the long walk through her life
she later condemned me for
all part of time’s passing
all leaving landmarks even time won't erase
