white hair, you
take your place
in the center of the picture;
it never bores me
sunshine, you
take our hands
in silent absolution
your daughter before me
nothing’s staying
we graze and wander
I’ve lost ages
but I’m no goner
white sun, you
darken down
a familiar horizon
somewhere we’ve just been
that old fear is
taking hold
in the dark I heard it promise
to hold me
forever
nothing’s staying
we graze and wander
I’ve lost ages
but I’m no goner
(nothing stays, we can’t wait long)
(gone gone)
(I’m leaving)
(but I’m no goner)
white hair
under my hand
in thirty years of living
it was a new thing
one stray thought
circling the past
in thirty years I never
called you by your real name
