You Are Two Days

You are two days, separate
and far apart.
You are three weeks
when you kiss me.

I am seconds ticking on the wall
When the batteries are taken out
and the the nail that hung me
dropped into the kitchen drawer.

You are timeless.
I am numbers in a circle.
I wait
While you go on

    For whatever reason, I came across this quote and it reminded me of your poetry:

    “We make out the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.”
    - W.B. Yeats

    Take it as you will, just thought it was a quote worth passing on.
