Past heartbreak
By a few millimetres and lifetimes

It’s a quarter past heartbreak
And I’m feeling the love
Terrified
And a terror
The love swings both ways
Like a door parallel to a universe
One forward the other back
This DKNY watch
Gets touched and turned and traversed
My fury at the betrayal
Silence in my eyes
Silence through Time.
It’s ten past heart mend
And the love remains
The love of a mother
The love of a child
The love of a father
Hawks and ancestors alike
Along comes love
20 minutes after death.
And a lifetime of loss.
To build new life.
