Time
How did we get here?
This clutter-filled space
where connection
has been replaced with tasks.
You asked me how I was,
and I said “busy” –
it would take too long
to tell you what is really
going onAnd we would both
have to feelIt’s so much easier
to be doing than beingThe hope-departed,
broken-hearted
sheltering in timeBunkered in activity
we busily wait
for what once was
to return
