Loss

Loss



love’s long lost

a bruise upon a bruise

sayonara


open cage

freedom comes at a price

no more sad songs


how could it be -

the key to your heart -

carelessly mislaid 


every summer 

that i have ever loved

is gone


it was her pinafore 

that wiped away my tears

and smelled of cookies


how many cold tears

upon how many full moons

past caring


times past -

when the old finger is raised

be sure you listen


it was

at the time when it was

but now it isn’t


dandelion clock

when the wind has had its say 

gone


cat and bird

a song of life cut short

and my innocence
