redo from start
a lifetime decades unlived
a life with nothing asked for
unasked as there was nobody there
who could ask
a second life emerges no
a first life passing fast
fast enough rising decade
for every year risking bends
last year I was sixteen
discovering myself finding
an identity a relationship
with the world I find myself in
now suddwnly I am twenty six
reaching out for another for
love and intimacy as my blossoming
finds roots but to no avail
a new life lived so fast so late
spins out unmeeting even as I spiral
into another year where I will land
thirty six painfully soon to
consolidate my being before
reaching so soon to come
the second half of my first second
life
