I stand

I stand

I stand there

As only I may remember

As only you may recall


I stand

Looking both ways

Wondering

Which way to go


I stand

Outside your window

Knowing, that this time

This time will stay with me


That the years

Only intensify

The unknowingness

Of life

I have no tears

I have no tears

Yet not without reason

For I do reach out

To put myself into darkness


What there to find

Other than stitched together patches

Of right, wrong, and worst of all

Abysmally indifferent


I did dress well

Several of you said so

Yet only the twisted trees

Are here today

How to be

How to be

So confused

Not even to know

How or why to worry


To feel quite low

Even though

There is no need

For any despondency


Except that you throw

Your self to the wolves

And as we can show

That leads us all to worry

Half the books are posted

 Half the books are posted

Half to go later in the day

Half and half is always the way


That is if I have learned anything

From hours and hours

Of reading books and watching videos


To remember the greengrocer’s van

Home-made sledges in the snow

The feelings of hurt and angst


Then the leapfrog, to today

From the junior school playground

To the lounge listening to David Gray

Left out overnight

 Left out overnight

What should I say

In recompense


For I feel

That an apology

Is in order


If only

To calm, or settle

My own persona


Before I might

Set about

The writing of the day
