Diorama Sometimes



Sometimes too much time

Thinking about what maybe I shouldn't

I tried too late

Did all you could friends had said

Perhaps for the best they consoled

I don't know

I don't know


Twelve years away it's July

Thunderheads build in the south

A diorama of threat and of promise

We could use more rain

Whoever we is

The doves saying you you you

The hawk circles off against billow


Sometimes too much time

Sometimes I'm certain she knew

Speech lost when she lost her left side

Squeezing my hand with her right

My daughter's compassionate smile

They tied up her jaw with white gauze

A bow on the top of her head


Sometimes too much time

Sometimes I think

Time has high value

Sometimes I do

Far away thunder

Local wind
