(Calvert)
|
In the tenth second of forever
|
I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting.
|
In the ninth second of forever
|
I remembered a warm room where voices played.
|
In the eighth second of forever
|
I thought of the life I would not lead.
|
In the seventh second of forever
|
I thought of a leaf, a stone, a plastic fragment of a child's toy.
|
In the sixth second of forever
|
I saw your mouth whispering something I could hear.
|
In the fifth second of forever
|
I thought of the vermillion deserts of Mars, the jewelled forests of Venus.
|
In the fourth second of forever
|
I could remember nothing that I did not love.
|
In the third second of forever
|
I thought of rain against a window, I thought of the wind.
|
In the second second of forever
|
I thought of a pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac.
|
In the first and final second of forever
|
I thought of the long past that had led to now
|
And never...
|
Never...
|
Never...
