the garden

I’ve been feeling unstuck in time
I’m concealing a shift, I’m adrift, it’s a mystery

how did I get here?
where was I going?
and what else did I miss?

held up by feeble bridges, swaying in the wind
fraying lines and metal screeches, I think I’m falling in

I thought I’d sit out back this afternoon
what month is it? I’ve lost track; oh, the garden’s in bloom

when did that happen?
I hope that I helped you
I hope that at least I tried

held up by feeble bridges, swaying in the wind
fraying lines and metal screeches, I think I’m falling in

it’s not déjà vu, it’s a broken mirror
I’m not getting through, I wish that I could disappear
endless iterations of the same same old things
muted conversations, not concerned with what each days brings

repetition spoken in rhyme (spoken in rhyme)
and I’m sorry for wasting your time

falling hurts but failure teaches, the clouds are rolling in
a daring flower sunward reaches, everything ends and begins
held up by feeble bridges, swaying in the wind
fraying lines and metal screeches, I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in
