the turns we take

flipping over hidden postcards
from a softly checkered past
so many forks so many roads
with so much rock still yet to blast

she finds me in the last imagined
places that I want to be
drenched with sweat, sunglasses slipping,
“how are you?” is what’s asked of me

could I have a moment to change history
— could I have a moment to remake?
might not the fates just grant a quiet peace of time to swim through love we make

can’t I just ignore these empty spaces
— can’t I just ignore what most forsake
and overcome the fates that keep us
separated by all these turns we take

archived ripples passion filed in
dark blue rooms of memory locked
silences become the decades since
we last sat down and talked

words they mean so much between us
soft syllables hold the heaven’s earth
you speak of pain you speak of joy
— I marvel in a delicate mirth

could I have a moment to make longer
— could I have a moment stopped in time
might not the fates just grant a quiet place
for us to fly through lines we rhyme

can’t I just ignore these empty houses
— can’t I just ignore each daily fake
and overcome the fates that keep us
separated by all these turns we take

floating by those aisles of shelving
pregnant with each Dewey’d age
awareness of each second passing
I’m worlds away when you close the page

so strong within — this image of you
the deep, green smells of August walks
the bed we make’s the one we sleep in
— private sadness covered by friendly talks

could I have a moment to change history
— could I have a moment to remake
might not the fates just grant a quiet peace of time to swim through love we make

can’t I just ignore these empty spaces
— can’t I just ignore what most forsake
and overcome the fates that keep us
separated by all these turns we take

could I have a moment to imagine
— could I have a moment to create
might not the fates ignore for one more time
this private, selfish yearning, late

could we find a moment for together
— could we find a moment just to share
these turns we take, into completion’s threshold
or they can keep us waiting there
