september 22 - october 23

i don’t talk about you a lot.

you;
 who came after him and made, make, us worry
a lot
because you weren’t us you

         you who speak it but don’t really get the rest
because you
are you;
   the one who understands and
         gets it
          that everything is not the same
           that he’s got the uninvited friend staying for a while and we

we should
 be more patient
       more less worrying everyone
        more keeping everything stay the same.

i’m sorry.

consider: when i say leave me alone—
 (in the future, as we close the five days gap a week on
   a sunny saturday morning)
—don’t.
            stay,
             because it’s you;
                                        because that’s what you
have always been doing
         because that’s where you belong,
          because then he will join
           and we’ll be together again.

everything i do,
   in every prayer,
       whatever it is someone like me who learned it the hard way when he
said i favored you over him and
the times i did do,
 


                     it has, will, always been for you (two).
