Yesterday
It’s a choice to trust
and love
But God
trust in what, whom, when?
how to love ?
and be loved?
They say
Every season serves its purpose
But loving you
is San Francisco
gentle and capricious and constant
It rained today
the fog
the tears
the humid soothing interlude
You know how a moment
Can be eternity?
I never know when’d be my last time
with anyone
Even if we hug at the door promising to talk soon
Even if we make plans for the near & far future
Even if we take forever for granted
in a moment
unprepared for
the world can turn upside down
and you’d be left speechless
Where did my youth go?
It’s not that you are not enough
The world is loving you
in miraculous ways
so listen to what Disappointment has to say
and forgive
///
Dawn
Can Love make you cry?
I typed up “Yesterday” but forgot whom I wrote it for
Must have not been significant
Whoever loved me ‘capriciously’ never loved me
and vice versa
did I ever know what Love is?

Caterpillar
“How do you know that someone loves you?”
The Tree says, “If I find myself growing evermore day by day.”
The Flower says, “If they appreciate me delightfully but do not pluck me.”
The Sun asks, “Do you love them?”
