For so many years
I have counted the
moments. Painfully.
Carefully.
And somewhere –
through some uncountable
cluster of moments
over a lifetime
of years,
I lost
the days.
Some were bad or good
long or quick
Most forgettable, a few
defining.
All
Rolled up into one
Thing. Into
no thing.
Hiding in my years,
shielded by my moments,
not to be remembered
or recalled.
