lamentations for Jesus

yesterday the sunrise
such a color
I keep trying to go back

~~~

all these miles
did I really think
none of them would change me

~~~

how could her hands
those tiny pinkies
begin to move a sea

~~~

desert winds
arise from nowhere
take away the sky

~~~

are the years more numerous
always grinding boulders into pebbles
pebbles into sand

~~~

You've made promises
I have too
but yours aren't mine and mine aren't yours

~~~

many years are as a second
chance given to a fool

~~~

a trail leads into the forest
much overgrown
through intervening years

~~~

how long will it take
to see that life is a borrowing
I'm only a beggar

~~~

the color red should fit into this somewhere
and its dancing on waters
beneath a setting sun

~~~

weariness overtakes me
as it always does
a sudden noise wakes me

~~~

I see the diagram repeats its arcs and equations
as if this is never going to end
and there's no period represented

~~~

a single tone
sustained by repetitively drawing
a horsehair bow across a wire

~~~

A long time passes
waiting for
