degna
Sometimes you can't see where to look.
The eyes aren't designed to pick out the clues
that guide children through trees
into a place of food fights and colour fights and
water balloons that crash around the feet
of the people you fancy.
There is not enough time
to colour the path to
the right person.
I tried this once before
branching out to find
the right line to take
failing to spot the lines
that took me away form
the start of this thing.
the last time
was fluid and now there is nothing
figuring out if there is a true way to falter
sounds flat like I'm trying to something out
that doesn't need to make sense
An orange casio digital watch
sets off the tanned skin
on my husband's wrist
keeps him on time
gets him to the right places
at the right time
or checking off the minutes
'til his workout has ended.
