When last
did we
months ago 
I’d guess 
too short 
to remember 
too short 
to forget 
but forgive 
that has
always been 
mine to 
give you 

The only fool
is the one 
who makes the 
same mistake twice 
convinced that he’s 
reinventing the wheel 
when in fact 
he’s just digging 
himself a hole 
deeper than before 

Try not to 
forget what once 
was had as
one forgives what 
once never was 
for its in
that wee gap
that one lives 
their present life 

Psst hush
let me
listen to 
the stream 
as it 
makes its 
only way 
from spring 
to sea
for that
not this 
means everything 
to me 

The beauty 
in this 
lies not
with me
but you 
for I
know what 
and now 
that what 
is up 
to you
