break

so today is the first day 
of a week before i see you again,
and i am a little sad.

i hoped i would have had
more accomplished by now,
something to take with me.

but now we take a break
before even getting started,
and that's the saddest break of all.

oh, maybe while i am sitting
up on a castle wall or 
staring out into the tejo river
i will think of something marvelous
something perfect.

and it will all come together,
like the steps us towards the city
that rise from the water.

it's so beautiful, and so perfect-
so its got to work.
its got to happen for us.
