New Year's Gap Filled
We stand astride years I'm already missing you This gap is absurd Not of few hours But of all these years apart Not knowing their end This uncertainty Turns time left into time spent That spent into weight Is it easier? What uncertainty have you As time and space warp? Still they celebrate Fireworks a reminder Of wishworks unsparked While the world burns Begrudge me not these pinings I'd miss you sleeping Side by side in bed Or if you went to the store These pines are kindling In ample supply What uses has wood besides Lighting a fire?
