Le Temps

When the
blessed sun
decides to awaken
my 20,000th day,

I will drench my feet
in dew-covered grass
and wonder what became
of my beloved.

For you see,
tho he won't be 'round,
(another's arms will encircle these shoulders)
my heart will have been many years gone.

And perhaps on my
30,000th day,
I will give up my
feeble attempts at poetry
and look him up...

or take to writing fiction.
