Was it just yesterday that
I stood on my side of the
fence and looked over
onto yours... Everything
was so green and I wanted
what you had for myself….
I yearned for it with a physical
longing -
and so I jumped...

It surely was just yesterday…

and now I find myself standing
on the dry marshes of your side
looking back to where I was
just yesterday... and my tears
will not make the grass under
my feet grow... my many
tears will not turn the earth
green, because the green
is on the other side,
back on my side....
where I was just yesterday.
