A scar in a heart
A heart on a palm
A palm on a forehead
A forehead on a table
Too late to regret
A regret in an inner man
An inner tube of a wheel*
It hurts them both
Within reach of the heavens
A heaven within reach
And a grief within
This day is
hers, his.
And her strength
springs partly from her,
partly from him.
On the run
At the end
On the neck
At the end of all things.
Salt in an eye,
a corn on a foot,**
a foot on a bike,
low, high.
Too late to regret
A regret in a soul
A soul in pieces,
it hurts them both.
Within reach of the heavens
A heaven within reach
And a grief within
This day is
hers, his.
And her strength
springs partly from her,
partly from him.
On the run
At the end
On the neck
At the end of all things.
Always together,
still so alone,
Always together,
still so alone.
