Loose Change

It's never easy

to be

far away

we miss the months

singed by the flames

of yesteryears...

the leaves and petals

drifted

over red

careless breath

given wing

till pooled

in dampened

fields

The roof still stands

though walls have caved

in faith

we stand

transfixed

a penny

beneath the water

lost in thoughts

for two pence

corroded

green again

calling

the kettle

whistling

blue

across the oceans

we've underestimated

one another

by several billion

seconds

each of us

flipping

for altered ego

Well? you say,

heads or tails...

we toss a wish

& for a moment

before the ripple

everything stays

the same
