When it was tomorrow

When It Was Tomorrow I am so very tired. I’m just barely dragging everything—endless drag. But you are here—dancing fingers and toes, Dancing with the trees. Baby with wisdom in her eyes, We stroke the grass together, and it’s all better. You said, “When it was tomorrow.” Ref.: We synchronize our breaths; it’s a relief, a soothing calm. It’s better now because you are here, Iris. With you, it’s always that better tomorrow. “When it was tomorrow.” Trees are falling, rivers spilling over, Roads are jammed, everyone’s losing their minds. Your hand is warm, your dance so funny— I’m laughing. It’s better now. So much better, when it was tomorrow. Ref.: We synchronize our breaths; it’s a relief, a soothing calm. It’s better now because you are here, Iris. With you, it’s always that better tomorrow. “When it was tomorrow.” I want to run far away and howl to the world. I want to scratch and screech—I’ve had enough of everything. But then your wise eyes, Your warm, careful touch, And it’s better again, Iris. In an embrace with you, the world is fulfilled. Thank you, my love. Thank you forever. Ref.: We synchronize our breaths; it’s a relief, a soothing calm. It’s better now because you are here, Iris. With you, it’s always that better tomorrow. “When it was tomorrow.”
