Forever Poem by Walter Burns

i saw time was aware
of the gray in my hair
so i tied the cats in my life
by the tails of the moon
and i got here
through a child's fascination

soon as gravity decides
i'll fall on my face for you
like i once did

i know just what you'll say
there's a skeleton lost in the bay
and i should go there see
if time was a two lane highway.

you followed me
somewhere you passed me
i was sleeping

we were destined to meet
in the graveyard
at the end of the street
but i go there
your flowers, fallen and spray
on my cracked and bony earth

there's no use in saving us now
the waves crash out your name
each time i stop this wheel
through the remoteness of our lives
