To look back is to freeze in time;
to be fixed, rooted to a moment
that has lived its life.
...
Charge me
with your nonsense,
blame your tears
on me; I have no lies to hide;
...
You challenged me
to believe
in immortality -
yours,
...
However long I sit,
Nothing comes of it
Save visions of your face;
Dusky roses, graced
...
