You are
A long time
Coming
Now
All time is
Your time
My time is
Yours since
Before
But your
Time is
Not mine
It is yours
I get to
Watch it
Feel how
You are not
In me
But you were
There you
Grew
Into a paw
Of blood
And time
It felt good
To share
To receive
Now I live
To give
You time
“Baby,” from my chapbook Reverse Commute, published this week on the front-page of the awesome VerseWrights poetry site.
