a pause

A bit of a problem here

a good amount of doubt

something beyond distant understanding

a pain in one part of the body

distracted from the pain in another

I have forgotten what waking up

without discomfort was like

and waking up without it

happening naturally is but

a dream within a dream

And finding a chance to get

a few hours alone is not ever

going to happen again

of the last few years things

do not believe I have had

a peace of mind

and then I saw when I died

and I was not going to change a thing

and the only thing I recall loving

more than sunsets

is your kiss
