Time Enough
If broken hearts can kill
we stand accused still
attempted murder three
we are judge and jury
considering mitigation
suspended leniency
from far out to sea
cast off in brittle boats
keep heads above water
treading just afloat
self-isolated clutching
straw unable to touch.
Time sets questions now
inquires about home
are you coping alone
is your heart still stone
done adequate stir
left sufficient seconds
for giggles together
kisses gathering us both
to enfold sugar in cream
enough time to dream.
Nice
