it was yesterday i said
leaves are falling
bombs too
deja vu
again
it was yesterday i said
not anything more
but trivialities
and niceties
again
i get so sick of life
i can’t help it
don’t you?
the brutalities
and redundancies
while leaves fall
bombs too
again
yesterday i said
“i love you” and i do
amongst the clutter
and distractions
yet again
yesterday i said
i’m not going anywhere
you’ll never ever be rid of me
i’ve got skin in this game
while leaves fall
bombs too
and more kids
again.
