If I could have scripted
This visit home
I would have allowed for days
With you alone
Time would pass as though
Merely memories were the fabric
Like we were looking back
On who we are
In short sentences
Recalling days and evenings
In blinks, beats, sighs and breaths
No amount of time
Replaces you for me
I would trick the clock
Glue his hands somewhere in a V
Bribe the sun to
Freeze our shadows
As we walk, set, climb and slide
Fix a dozen breakfast meals
Convince myself time was not real
Give to you all that I am
For as long as you would have me
