You always knew how long we had been together
I didn't.
You'd sulk.
And I'd tell you: "Can't count things that never end".
Now look at me, counting the days without you.
Even Spaces, Uneven Events by jmelisio, literature
Literature
Even Spaces, Uneven Events
In this life-deserted greenfield,
Even spaces divide uneven events.
They're marked away in the distance,
Below the weight of whitish landmarks,
And wavering silhouettes of peace.
They're all the same.
But there you stand between even spaces,
Contemplating the weight of my whitish landmark,
Weighting your own life on it,
As it swings in the balance of one uneven event.
This is not the first year, nor the second,
And your tears keep falling like winter does it,
Every year on the same godforsaken days,
While the rest of the seasons swiftly go by.
They're all the same.
But there you stand:
Your tears facing gravity,
Soaking dirt at your feet
