Time of Plural Winters – Written Thursday 19th October 2023 (Aged 48)

Time of Plural Winters

they did not want to speak to me,
then, why should they?
but, maybe…
it would have given some closure
maybe it is i who needs closure
maybe it’s just me
maybe people just want to forget
but maybe we could be friendly
maybe…
maybe i am trying to piece together –
a time of splinters
a time of shards,
and a time of plural winters
a time when i easily fell apart
but, they did not want to speak to me
but then,
why should they?
maybe we could look back on the madness
and all that went before
maybe my behaviour –
means that option does not exist anymore
maybe now, i am on a continent
which to them is a dim and distant shore
