Once Upon an Oversight

Give me a day
for you to treat
these fresh spring 
wounds of mine

I've been collecting them
in secret
in passing

by the roadside
where you once walked.

The pale
sick
sky

screaming overhead
and underfoot;

we don’t know where
we stand anymore

and you've exited that
dream of mine
a trillion times

where one of us pulls away
just as the other
becomes too attached

to breathe
or sleep

or slip further
into safety

or slide further
into the guarded

arms of regret.
