Suddenly
when you least expect it:
the sky balloons in a fever of fire
all is changed, disarranged and
retrieve though you try
there is no rely or re-try
suddenly
when you
least
expect
it:
all
falls
away
in
an instant
then
life
meets
leap
and the eye
of i-dea
the chime
of mine
or thine:
comes the sweetest taste you will never-ly know
on the lips like God's very kiss
but oh can you know it
oh can you know?
and when's-it your turn?
do you think you know when?
Don't say that you know
it comes when
it comes when?
if your tears were the ever-last thing that I saw -
if your sweet fruits of mirth were my last burst of song
if
all pink things
were
sweet-ripped, yes
today: then
today, then -
today
