a few words about being wrong & after the monsoon (holding on pt. 2)

a few words about being wrong & after the monsoon (holding on pt. 2)


“I can't take my eyes off of you”
“The Blower’s Daughter,” Damien Rice


all the times we were too tired
all the times we were in a hurry

we were wrong


i bought you a book today
a book i have read & loved
never given to anyone else

i have no hope of ever handing
this other world to you face to face
or at all in this time after the monsoon


the flood waters battered everything
but when the waters finally receded
there on the beach he lay alone & dazed
holding on to the book he chose for her
