you can never get it back,
what you left behind
what you gave away
the grinding of your teeth and the postcards
you drew, the smell of your city block
an ice age came and went

when summer comes along these shores
you won’t listen to it
deaf to the rhythm that you carved into yourself
deaf to the drumming of your own song

you won’t think of anything important to say
you won’t be able to describe it,
a spider you never saw bite you
even though you have the mark
that sneaking suspicion that you dreamed it all

you could put it all back together, but you won’t
you’ll wonder when this day will end
