quiet please

spring brings changes

and i feel i need them
finally i've started cleaning
thought i could start with what's unresolved
but not yet, he said

this bar was meant to be for you
but i couldn't stand waiting

it's been a long time, she said
but it will fade one day
i hope these things fade

today i felt summer
on my left shoulder
burning sunbeams reached me
through the window glass

seasons change
so do i

so i hold this beeper
in the pocket near my body
always check if it's there
if the batteries are charged
i want to have it in my head one day
or maybe it's already there, i don't know
with the eyes opened wide
i try not to miss a thing
hoping it will beep today
when the other one is near
on the street or on the bus
the same people in the same place

somehow i don't like being behind
you never know where you are
till the moment someone tells you
or you simply discover
it's not the place you wanted to find yourself in

she likes pearls
on her head
they make her feel good
dye, she said

when a new baby is born
the other one may feel neglected
but it is older now
and it will last out this time of less attention
i was asked to focus on what is here
and i am doing it
besides
everyone needs a break sometimes
so maybe that's the time
