Ode to Once

ODE TO ONCE

Once beneath the radar

Twice amongst his words

Three times within his heart

It didn’t seem absurd.

Once the thought was out

Twice it entered ears

More than that it wiggled in

And lounged and choked out tears.

Once he spoke aloud

It faltered, fractured, faded

So far away

Far, far away

Thrust into lives

We’re made to play

This once was there,

And then decayed.

So goodbye, once, long jaded.
