Lately, I've been writing
about days, nights
—all those things
Lately, I've been thinking
about moments, time
—all those things
Lately, I've been drinking
squeezed lemons, blended carrots
—all those things
Lately, I've been eating
soft preserves, bland taste
—all those things
And lately, I've been feeling
tired, angry, reminiscent
—all those things
Lately, I've been grasping
for time, for love
—all those things
Lately, I've been giving
goodbyes, words
—all those things
Yet lately, I've been dead
to my emotions, to myself
—all those things
Lately, I've been a companion
to death, to regret, to chance
—all those things
