There comes a TIME
for a FOUR letter WORD
that doesn't BURN a HOLE
or SNAP at ones you LOVE
but leaves a DOOR OPEN
lets a BELL RING
gives a LAKE its MIST
a TREE its LEAF
a WIND its GUST
a WAVE its TIDE
a SIGH its KISS
a HAND its GRIP
A FIRE its GLOW
but when RAIN turns to SNOW
Every HOUR is RUSH
you're a FISH on a HOOK
your BATH grows COLD
your LACE RIPS
your EYES LEAK
your MIND RUNS
and you want to HOWL at the MOON
JUMP off a ROOF
CLAW your EYES and
BOOK a ROOM where you can
YELL at yourSELF
At the end of your ROPE your BOOK your MILE
At the end of your LIFE your POEM the LINE
You FALL off into the ARMS
of ABBA HOLY
And LAND in
HOPE
