this is a make-up


this is a make-up -
missed time that can no more be recaptured
than the water that ran down the river yesterday.
where is that water that went by
when we weren't looking,
like your daughter's 4th year
or the third weekend after you were married
and you had to wash the floors
and do laundry.
