Like The Worm

Like the worm

 

It came unnoticed

 

hidden so well

 

in the apple of our desire

 

 

Now

 

The fruit has ripened

 

and we can't change things

 

done

 

so so so long

 

before

 

 

 

In meetings of delight

 

and tender tender passion

 

We have shared everything

 

everything we have

 

 

Except that farther farther farther vision

 

Where we have died

 

to each other

 

lost

 

 

Living

 

our separate partings

 

 

of

 

directions taken

 

long

 

long

 

long

 

time

 

ago
