(still backdating - 090407)

(untitled)

Long days lure melancholy,
white-shirted, tiny-fisted,
insubstantial but shattering
ballerinas-in-waiting
flooding the wings as
a deep pirouette drum
whistles from the corner.

You re-enact in my head
on repeat
all smiles words laughter,
memories of joy and faith in
a world that still turns and marries
and soulmates and smooths.
I have given up on
paths and forgetting, I
have confused forgiveness
with resignation.
These are far hours
and classic tears.
