The book of you.


Tattered and torn

Stopping the slide of time.

Hiding in plain sight

The story of our life

Written in a fading hand.

Worn smooth

Like a penitent's step

We knew the storm was coming.

Translate the past 

To brighten the future,

It's just the beginning.

Peering over earl grey or darjeeling,

Where else would we go?

My history and yours

Joined together and apart.

Drive, sit, drift, move on.

The untimeliness of death.

Memory's doors a locked casket.
