how
I remember you
does
time take life 
or
does life take time
do
we manifest destiny 
between
happenstance 
and
environment 
or
do we lie back 
and
claw the words 
from
peddled skies
in
urns and turns
from
black and blue
to
each cycle through
until
leaned close enough
to
smell each 
whispered
regale 
the
Universe places
upon
our skin
let
us question 
the
earnest weight of stars
for
they know how death 
dances
better than most
elliptically
blooming between 
gravity
and the aggregate mass 
of
chances taken versus 
the
tiniest of sensed strengths
sometimes,
the last buds 
of
a rose remain closed 
when
Winter arrives
as
some things you say
will
always hold fast 
to
possibility instead 
of
listening to what 
a
silent smile says 
when
asked to sing 
a
sweet song again
remembering
all
that has been
