—Hugh Garner
Is bittersweet…
I blame myself
For the bitter.
I can’t count the nights
I dreamt
I could go back
And make it better,
But that’s
Not going to happen;
Besides
I’d need a giant eraser,
a time machine
and Fate’s permission…
And I can't ask
for what I can't get.
So, for now
I’ll take an interlude,
A brief intermission…
To catch my breath
And see
What’s coming next.
