The Distance To Remorse
Ten years turns into twenty --
Do admit, thirty --
In the blink of the mind’s eye,
Holding a vision of you
And I
Once upon a time.
Thirty minus ten minus ten,
Won’t get me back there again,
Back to the precipice,
Feeling afraid to mount
A decision
I could have made for you
And I.
Why didn’t I try?
Ten years times three,
Time streaks
Across this internal sky,
Eternal mind
That won’t let go of a vision
Of you and I.

If I had just tried,
That summit, never mountain,
That dream envisioned,
Surrounding me still
Toward the unknown horizon escaping,
A linear vision,
Realizing
I missed my chance.
